Over the next few days it’ll start warming up, beware of falling ice on buildings as well as from over passes. I get a lot of mail, I often create social media posts, but I think on Monday’s for the time being I will publish what I think to be the most informative, and most often than not covered by other outlets, here. Let’s go…

Board members of the Barnes Foundation, *Joseph Neubauer* *and* ***Aileen Roberts*** won the 2011 Philadelphia Award for their leadership.

Just In:
The Board of Trustees of the Barnes Foundation announced that Aileen Roberts has been elected as the Board’s new Chair. Roberts, who has served on the Board since 2005 and as Vice Chair since 2015, succeeds Joseph Neubauer. Neubauer led the Barnes as Chair from 2015 to 2020 and will remain a Trustee and serve as Chair of the Barnes Foundation’s $100 million Second Century Campaign.
