Must be a good day for new beginnings. Chris Heinbaugh, who’s been at Dallas City Hall for nearly four years, says he’s been tapped to become director of external affairs at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, starting June 9. The PAC also recently named Mark Weinstein its new president and CEO, effective next Wednesday.
In his new position Heinbaugh will oversee the PAC’s governmental relations, “institutional” media (in other words he’ll be publicizing the center itself, not specific shows) and community outreach. A reporter for seven years at WFAA-TV (Channel 8), Heinbaugh left there to become Mayor Tom Leppert’s chief of staff, then stayed on as a media and policy adviser to Mayor Dwaine Caraway.
