As we warmly welcome our new Board Directors, we also take a moment to acknowledge those who are stepping down. We want to thank Deborah Spence, Michael Elliott and Anthony Coombs, who have each completed two full terms as Trustees and Board Members, as well as former BRB Principal Dancer Sandra Madgwick, who is leaving the Board after five years to take on new responsibilities.
We are deeply grateful for their dedication, expertise and support for BRB throughout their time with us, and wish them the very best for the future.
