Attending the first ever Bowery Arts and Science, board retreat, held at the wonderful Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida were: (Right to left in the photo) Board Chair, Vincent Katz, Michael Warr, Chris Lamal, Treasurer Alison Meyers, James Siena, Artistic/Executive Director, Bob Holman, and Managing Director Gary Glazner. Board member Warr who is the principal for Warr Consulting and a Projects Director at CompassPoint Nonprofit Services did a fantastic job of planning and leading the session. The board is hard at work on developing a strategic plan and honing the BAS mission statement. The big news and a major topic of the retreat is the fact that BAS has taken over the task of producing the more than 1,200 events that take place annually at the Bowery Poetry Club. Here is a photo of the crew enjoying the beach
