Board Service

“I’ve found being on a non-profit board very rewarding both personally and professionally. It’s given me a first-hand understanding of the things board members have to deal with, as well as the chance to experience and play a role in a whole other world of creativity.”

– McDermott New York Partner and Mark Morris Dance Group Board Member
