CENTERS FOR THE ARTS BONITA SPRINGS
Dear Board Members; CFABS Patrons, Members & Friends,

The end of May signaled the end of my term as Chair of the Board for the Centers for the Arts Bonita Springs. It has been my great honor working side-by-side with you, and for you, in helping our organization navigate these challenging years.

The Centers are strongest when we are all engaged and reaching toward a common goal, and that has been the most rewarding part of the last few years—we have had more of you involved, committed, and working together to share the arts than any time I can remember in my years of membership at the Centers. Thank you for participating and making it possible for us to provide quality art programming to our growing community.

I am especially grateful for the dedication, determination, intellect and guidance of our Board of Directors—both the outgoing members, and those who remain—and I am honored to continue my support and service on the Board and to call you my esteemed colleagues and friends. 
As we move forward into the new fiscal year, it is my sincere pleasure to announce the appointment of Fred Weinman as our 2022-23 Chairman of the Board.
Fred has served on our Board since 2016. He currently leads a team of investment, banking and advisory professionals at Northern Trust; holds a B.S. degree in monetary and fiscal economics and an MBA; is the Treasurer of Café of Life of Bonita Springs; the President of Meals on Wheels of Bonita Springs; a Board Member of The Boys & Girls Club of Lee County; and the President of the Bonita Bay Merchants Association.
Additionally, I am thrilled to announce and welcome three new members to our 2022-23 Board of Directors: Mark Giersch, Lena Neal and Leslie Sanderson. Each new member brings a wealth of ideas, perspectives and unique expertise to help guide the Centers and support our mission of providing Arts for All.
Thank you one and all for your continued commitment to the arts and to this organization. I hope to see you at the Centers again soon.

With very best wishes,
Patt Suwyn 
2020-22 Chairwoman
Centers for the Arts Bonita Springs
