President's Corner
Greg Lindeblom
President, Broward Art Guild
It's hard to believe, but I have been President of the art guild for two years now. We have a tradition that two years is a full term and it is time for me to step aside. I am also stepping aside from my role as Treasurer, as I have done that for most of the last three years.
It has been a great honor acting as President of the guild. I have truly enjoyed working with our members, volunteers, and others in the art community. There are a group of people to whom I must pay tribute over and above all else -- the fantastic board that has worked so hard on your behalf with me for these past two years. Hal Barnes, Judy Clark, Nina Donskoy, Nancy Edelstein, Nancy Herkert, Chris Murphy, Ann Fay Rushforth, Roberta Shine and Ed Temoyan have been tremendous colleagues and I deeply appreciate all they have done. The leader of the guild is our creative, energetic, genius -- Gerard Delaney. I have marvelled at his ability to pull things out of thin air and make them not only happen, but succeed. Your board works so hard, you should be both proud and appreciative of their efforts. It is positively inspiring what we have accomplished with virtually no funds.
I am not leaving the board, but will take a regular role. Ann Fay Rushforth has been elected President; Nancy Herkert is your new Vice-President; Ed Temoyan is the new Treasurer; and Nina Donskoy is staying on as Secretary. While Chris Murphy left the board a few weeks back because of the birth of his new son, we have four exciting new board members -- Ken Harrison, Bonnie Shapiro, Bunny Sheffield and Francisco Sheuat. This is going to be an excellent year!
I encourage you all to participate -- enter shows, donate your hard-earned money, volunteer your precious time. The Broward Art Guild has survived and thrived for 60 years because its members are committed to our vision -- to be south Florida's visual arts leader whose primary objective is to educate, encourage and promote artistic growth in our multicultural community.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to lead the art guild for the past two years. It is an experience I have truly enjoyed and will treasure always.
Sincerely,
Greg Lindeblom, Past President.
