Rebecca Mormino Named Executive Director of Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership

The Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership announced Rebecca Mormino as its new executive director on Friday. The Partnership had been searching for a new executive director since Matt Gladdek stepped down from the position in February. Jeri Lynn Schulke had been serving as interim executive director since then.

In its announcement, the Partnership described Mormino as “a seasoned communications and engagement specialist with over 15 years of experience orchestrating large-scale events, developing partnerships and cultivating meaningful community connections.” Mormino previously spent nearly seven years with UNC’s Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise, most recently serving as its Assistant Director of External Affairs.

“She has been instrumental in conceptualizing and launcing the institute’s translational research initiatives,” the Partnership said, “and has significantly contributed to reshaping its brand identity, further strengthening its position in the thought leadership sector.”

Mormino has also worked with several local arts festivals, including Durham’s Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and Raleigh’s Hopscotch Music Festival, managing sponsorships and public programming.

“A Chapel Hill resident for over two decades and a proud alum of UNC-Chapel Hill, Rebecca is deeply committed to supporting local businesses,” said the Partnership, “and promoting the unique arts and culture that makes Chapel Hill an exceptional place to live.”
