NEWARK, NJ (October 25, 2013)—The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra welcomes four new members to its Board of Trustees. Ron Beit, Ann Dully Borowiec, Elin Mueller and John Wooster join a board that is charged with establishing policies that assist in the successful implementation of the NJSO’s mission and vision. Beit, Borowiec, Mueller and Wooster bring philanthropic experience and a love of the arts to the NJSO board, which is made up of business, community and philanthropic leaders from across the state.
Beit is the founding partner and CEO of RBH Group, LLC, and President of RBH Management, LLC, asset and property management companies; his professional passion is in Newark, where he has been an active participant in helping the city become New Jersey’s business and entertainment capital and a downtown 24-hour, seven-days-a-week attraction.
Borowiec, who recently retired from J.P. Morgan after 25 years with the firm, was most recently the Chief Executive Officer of J.P. Morgan’s Private Wealth Management business, Global Head of Marketing for Wealth Management and a member of the J.P. Morgan Global Wealth Management Operating Committee.
For more than 40 years, Mueller has been a consummate community volunteer. She has been involved with the United Way of North Essex for more than 25 years and has served as President of the Home and School Association; she became a trained facilitator in group dynamics and nonprofit management through the Junior League of Montclair-Newark.
Wooster retired as Vice President of Communications for American International Group, Inc. (AIG) in 2010, having served the company since 1989. He has worked for more than 25 years in financial management, corporate communications and management consulting; in addition to public and investor relations, his experience encompasses many aspects of financial management.
Beit says: “For many years, I’ve been immersed in efforts to revitalize and transform Newark. It’s a pleasure now to join forces with the NJSO, which, as one of Newark’s greatest treasures, has long brought the transformative power of music to the people of this city.”
Says Borowiec: “It is an honor to join the board of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. My passion for music began with my years playing woodwinds, and I truly love music. The arts are a vital part of our culture, and I am committed to helping maintain vibrant arts here in New Jersey.”
Mueller says: “Much in life is transient. Music is not! It continues to give great joy. In a tumultuous world, music provides a retreat and tranquility. I am honored to join the NJSO board and look forward to participating in and contributing to a fine organization. The NJSO has been producing music of the highest quality; it is a vital part in sustaining and promoting our musical culture and heritage.”
Says Wooster: “Having attended NJSO concerts for more than 10 years, I have been greatly impressed with the quality of the Orchestra and the enthusiasm of its supporters throughout the state. The passion of the players in the NJSO is evident in every piece they perform. Having enjoyed their work as a member of the audience, I am excited about this opportunity to utilize my business communications background to help the NJSO thrive in the future.”
