From Lars Leafblad of Keystone Search: Free Arts Minnesota is recruiting new board members

What is Free Arts Minnesota?

"Free Arts Minnesota is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the healing powers of artistic expression into the lives of abused, neglected and at-risk children and their families. Free Arts Minnesota is dedicated to healing young lives through artistic expression. Free Arts recognizes that abuse encompasses a wide range of experiences such as trauma caused by violence, neglect, poverty, and homelessness. Free Arts programs seek to interrupt the cycle of violence. Through painting, drawing, music, writing, drama and other creative outlets, the program serves as a catalyst to help children communicate and express themselves in new - and positive - ways."

I am emailing you today at the request of my friend, Michelle Silverman, executive director of Free Arts Minnesota, whom I met through The LEAD Project (

http://www.theleadproject.org/luck.html) this past January.

You can see a current board roster here:

As you review your network, individuals with a passion for Free Arts' mission and any of these specific areas of expertise would be ideal candidates for board consideration:

Development/Fundraising
Event Planning
Accounting
Legal
HR
Art Therapy

Could you please let me know if you, or anyone else in your network, would be interested in talking further with Michelle about this board opportunity?

For those who are interested, it would be greatly appreciated if you would include a brief summary of why you'd like to be considered and the cliffs notes version of your bio when responding.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

As always, let me know if there's ever anything I can do for you.

Sincerely yours,

Lars Leafblad
