Welcoming New Board Members:
Gabriel Marous and Gabrielle Greeves
Arts to Grow is proud to welcome Gabriel Marous and Gabrielle Greeves to its board of directors.
Gabriel Marous (of Marous & Marous, P.C.) joins ATG's board of directors with an extensive background of different legal specialties. Recognizing the formative benefits the various forms of arts has had on the development of his own two children, Mr. Marous fully supports and endorses ATG's mission. He believes his desire to serve, along with his life experiences and professional qualifications will help contribute to ATG's goals.
Gabrielle Greeves is an entrepreneur with a passion for the arts-- in all its forms-- music, dance, the theater arts, literary arts and design+build. She founded The Alliance Partnerships/TAP Resources Group in 1994 to provide services as a consultant that would strengthen the Board of Directors involvement, suggest long range marketing and business development plans, plan special events, and develop "marriages" between the nonprofit and the prospective corporate sponsor. She has worked with organizations such as Achilles Track Club, Columbia University-Graduate School of Journalism, Child Welfare League of America, Comedy Fights Cancer, Fred Friendly Seminars, Global Justice Center, Hester Street Collaborative and many others. Gabrielle has established herself as a ‘change agent' for the not for profit world.
