The Dallas Business Journal reports that Bill Lively has accepted a new position as vice chancellor of strategic partnerships for University of North Texas.

Lively briefly served as CEO and president of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, but stepped down in April for health reasons. He said at the time he planned to spend the summer in Colorado and return to Dallas in the fall. His new position at UNT begins Sept. 7.

Prior to the DSO, Lively was the CEO of the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee. And before that, he led the fundraising effort to build the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
