‘Tis the season to count our blessings, and ArtsWave has begun taking inventory. Here’s Part One of our Gratitude List:

Thank You To…

…The 70 committed leaders on our Board of Directors, who are champions for sustaining the impact of the arts throughout our community;
…34 business leaders on the 2015 ArtsWave Campaign Cabinet, chaired by the unmatchable, unstoppable Tom Williams;
…1 amazing outgoing board chair, Karen Bowman, whose zest for strategy is balanced by finesse at compromise;
…1 amazing new board chair, Lisa Sauer, who embodies smarts, strength and serenity; 
…the 40,076 donors to the 2014 ArtsWave Campaign, chaired by the inspirational Melanie Healey;
…1,034 individuals who support the campaign with leadership gifts;
