Theater Alliance was so pleased to join Booz Allen Hamilton at The Anthem for their Booz Allen Excellence Awards! The talented team of Theater Alliance artists and youth "brought the magic" to the evening of WOW led by Natalie Ade, Kari Merkel, and team. Arts organizations get asked to perform at these kind of events all the time - and as an artistic leader, we get asked to make those decisions. For me, the question always comes down to #values. Does the organization align with our values of integrity, diversity, and excellence? Does the organization value artists? Does the organization live their values? With #BoozAllenHamilton, the answer was a resounding YES. Even in the first conversation about the event, we didn't talk about what they needed or how to make all their dreams come true on a tiny budget. Instead, we talked about what they believe in and what we believe in - we talked about the WHY of our organizations. That is what makes a great collaboration and I'm grateful! #values #integrity #diversity #excellence
I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible achievements of my colleagues who received nominations and awards at this year's #BoozAllen Excellence Awards. It was an honor to recognize the teams who deliver excellence each day, bringing innovative solutions to the most urgent needs of our clients and our communities. We have the most amazing people, and I am so proud to work with them and empower people to change the world. Thank you to Rob Silverman and everyone who made this year's event a success. And congratulations to all our winners and nominees!
