Board of Directors
Asia Burnett was the kind of kid who hid books on the playground. Good storytelling in film, radio - and even around the water cooler - is essential. That's why she supports organizations that bring our region stories from around the globe, like Maiden Alley Cinema and Murray State's public radio home, WKMS.
Asia has been hooked on NPR ever since first hearing Garrison Keillor talk about that extraordinary species: the English major. A Murray State gal through and through, she studied English and a whole slew of Liberal Arts as an undergrad and went on to get her Master of Business Administration. She is currently the Development Director for WKMS, 91.3 FM.
She also spends her time on the Leadership Team for the Young Professionals of Murray, as an active (and former board) member of Murray Main Street, and a member of the Murray Woman's Club, where she is Sigma Department's Volunteer of the Year.
She enjoys homemade guacamole, craft beer, fanciful earrings and Johnny Mathis Christmas music.
Adrian Holloman moved to Paducah from Lexington, KY, in August 2013. Having a deep passion for all forms of visual arts, she sound that volunteering at Maiden Alley Cinema was just one way she could reach out and become immersed in the arts community. Currently serving as volunteer coordinator, her passion for Maiden Alley Cinema thrives. She has participated in the 48 Hour Film Project for the last 4 years and is working with local filmmakers to compile a list of possible filming locations in our area to build the footprint of our local film industry. As an employee of Paducah Bank, Adrian is encouraged to get into the community and volunteer. By working with Maiden Alley Cinema, she is able to spread the word about events and volunteer opportunities that may arise. In her spare time, she enjoys performing with Market House Theatre, taking dance classes and is currently working on a novella. She and her husband, Todd, currently live in Paducah with their 2 cats, Rigby and Ed.
