As we embark on our 40th anniversary year, we are truly grateful for our talented board of directors. Led by board chair Ken Selvaggi, this diverse and dedicated group of civic leaders will help us shape a strategic plan to carry the Center well into the next decade.

With more than two centuries of leadership talent on our board, we thought you'd appreciate their insights on the art and craft of leadership. Take a moment to check out words of wisdom from board members pictured above, from left: Ken Selvaggi, VP/GM, WAVE 3 News; Cynthia Williams, VP, Global Talent Management, Brown-Forman Corp.; and Stacey Wade, President/CCO, Nimbus.

Q. What character trait do you most appreciate in other leaders – why is that an important trait?
