This 3 Questions Series offers the chance to learn more about board members, grantees, and longtime supporters of Rhode Island Humanities. In the coming months, we will continue to share these conversations as a window into the people who make up our unique network.
As you join RI Humanities’s board, what do you find most interesting or exciting about the Council’s work? Or what are you hoping to learn more about through your board service?
In these troubling times, with much that comprises civilization under attack, the humanities call for wide support and aggressive advocacy.
How do you interact with Rhode Island’s humanities and cultural sector personally or professionally? Can you share a favorite program, exhibit, project, performance, screening, or other humanities activity you’ve participated in recently and what you took away from that experience?
I chair a library in a small town. Books and the programs that support reading, thought, accumulation of historical perspective and imagination are so important to who and what we are. Participation in this timeless process is a huge sense of satisfaction for me.
What is it about living in Rhode Island that you find compelling?
Rhode Island is quirky, no doubt. But the wide sharing of the values that are at the heart of that quirkiness makes us a home to be cherished.
