Having served on many non-profit boards related to my field of expertise, I wanted to join a non-profit board in another arena. After I started my own consulting firm and joining a public board, I was introduced to the Martha Graham Dance Company board and quickly became enthralled with the energy, passion and international viewpoints of the dancers, schools, and eclectic board. Whenever I get the chance, I attend performances at the studio or the theater. Tags: Merrie Franke
