Customer loyalty, employee engagement, leadership integrity, community partnership. These are aspirations shared by progressive business leaders who understand that top-line growth and bottom-line profitability increase as a result of a holistic management strategy.
In his 2019 annual letter to CEOs, Larry Fink of BlackRock writes:
Profits are essential if a company is to effectively serve all of its stakeholders over time – not only shareholders, but also employees, customers, and communities. Similarly, when a company truly understands and expresses its purpose, it functions with the focus and strategic discipline that drive long-term profitability. Purpose unifies management, employees, and communities.

New art exhibit at Sprout Coworking
Michele Keir was five years old when she overheard her kindergarten teacher tell her mother that she was an artist. That was the moment she knew… “I am a creative person who loves color.” Using training from both Pratt Institute and RISD, Michele made a career as a graphic designer, product designer and potter. Many non-profit organizations have been the recipients of her talent. Most recently she raised thousands of research dollars for the American Parkinson Disease Association through the donation of hundreds of digital art paintings.
Michele has Parkinson Disease. Over the past year she has used art for personal therapy. Never before had she created art without a teacher, boss or client limiting her creative process. This endeavor has not only given her joy but has overfilled her house with art. In her attempt to have her art seen by others, Michelle recently began entering local juried exhibitions.
Join Michele for an opening of her show on Saturday, April 6th from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Gallery at Sprout CoWorking, 489 Main St. The exhibit will be on display through April 30th. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Meredith Wolf’s latest exhibition of abstract paintings is titled “Aura of Inner Spaces.” These paintings are influenced by the soul and its moods. “I am an intuitive painter, I do not attempt to portray a particular subject but to capture my inner emotions. I allow my subconscious the freedom to explore and create with no preconceived plan.”
Wolf, a New Jersey native, has a degree in textile design from Syracuse University and an art teaching certificate from Montclair State University. She has exhibited widely and her work is in many private and corporate collections.
