Sam Miller, 1952-2018
Sam Miller, visionary colleague and former Executive Director of NEFA from 1995-2004, passed away peacefully on May 1, 2018.
We are grateful for Sam's lasting imprint on our work at NEFA, and on the field of dance in particular, as the founder of the National Dance Project. He was an extraordinary leader in the arts and a generous friend and advisor.
