Hello Everyone,
This past Wednesday we had a full Board of Trustees meeting. Rocco Saverino presented our finances (we are on track to end the fiscal year with a balanced budget), Alicia Vandermeer presented a plan to create some new donor groups, and I spoke about the “New Look” of the galleries with the reinstallation of the collection.
Be sure to check out a recently installed work on view in the Toronto: Tributes + Tributaries exhibition on the 4th floor – Wall of Fatigue by FASTWÜRMS. See pic below. Made me nostalgic for the ‘80s.
The other Saturday I was here shortly before we opened and it was packed. I was very impressed by the professional, efficient manner in which hundreds of people were welcomed and processed. Protection Services Officers were particularly impressive in moving the crowds along and ensuring the safety of art works. Everyone looked confident, relaxed and in control.
Enjoy the weekend,
Stephan
P.S. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: think twice before you hit “send” on that email – would it be better to discuss the matter in person?
Start the conversation by expecting the best from your colleagues. If you don’t, negativity reigns.
