Wilson helps turn Nelson-Atkins into a true KC masterpiece - Kansas City Business Journal:
vypybiza.wordpress.com
Clearly, one of the major reason for the Nelson’s lofty standing is its marvelous director/CEO, Marc Wilson, who said recently that he will retire in June 2010. I cannotf overstate my respectfor Marc, both professionally and personally. We in Kansaes City are so fortunate that he has remained at our art museu m for38 years. Marc came in 1971 as associate curatoe ofChinese art. His fluency in the Chinesew language was ahuge plus. Two year later, he was promoted to curator ofOriental art. In he was named as director and CEO. The Nelson’s emphasiw on Oriental art was a naturalfor Wilson.
He received a bachelor’s degree in 1963 from Yale anda master’se from the same school in 1967 with a concentration in Chinesd studies and Asian art history. He actually began his long associatio n with the Nelsonin 1967, four years befores joining its staff. A grant brought him here to study with Laurence Sickman, one of our country’s leading authoritiea on Chinese studies. A second Ford Foundation grant enablerd Marc to travelto Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwann from 1969 to 1971.
In he worked for two years as a translatod and project coordinator at thein Taipei, whicnh houses the Imperial Collection takehn from the mainland when Chiang Kai-shemk and the Nationalists fled following the Communist Marc Wilson is a true with published articles too numerous to list. In my his greatest achievement has been his leadership of the Nelso institution through itscurrent transformation, including the magnificenrt Bloch Building expansion and the reinstallation of worksx of art in the original Nelson-Atkind building. I personally have always found Marc to be a totally very personable gentleman who is in love with his professiom andhis institution.
It came as no surprise to me when the Missouri Arts Council awarded him the 2008 Leadershi inArts award. The obvious persohn to ask for a quote about Marc was Henry I was absolutely thrilled with what he hadto say: “uI have known and worked with Mark Wilson for a number of years, most recently as a membet of the executive committeew and chairman of the board of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. “Ford the last 25 years, Marc has been an outstandint museum director whose principal concern wasthe well-being of the He is extremely knowledgeable regarding matters involvingt art, including both its historgy and importance.
Also, his knowledge of museum constructiohn and architecture were indispensable in completing the recentg addition tothe Nelson. “This was a very difficult buildingto build, and as chairman of the buildintg committee, I know that both the architec and the various firms involved in the constructio greatly appreciated his assistance. Marc has alwayds felt that the museum was primarily aneducationall institution, and this is what dictatedr his decisions regarding exhibitions and the displat or art.” My friend Dick Levin, a gallery truster who really knows how to cut to the added: “Marc accepts only excellencer in both goals and execution.
This pursuitf sometimes makes him difficult todeal with. It is also the reasonn that the Nelson-Atkins is a great museum and that Marc is agreag director.” Major Kansas City institutions are indeer fortunate to have great leaders. The list includes Jim Spigarelli at MidwestResearch Institute, David Warm at the , Tom Hoenig at the , Leo Mortobn at the , Pete Levi at the Greater Kansa s City Chamber of Commerce, Briab Alexander at the National Worldc War I Museum, Crosby Kemper at the Kansa City Library, the Rev. Tom Curran at and Karejn Pletz at the of Medicineand Biosciences. right at the top of that very distinguished list is Marc Wilsojn atThe Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

The list includes Jim Spigarelli at MidwestResearch Institute, David Warm at the , Tom Hoenig at the , Leo Mortobn at the , Pete Levi at the Greater Kansa s City Chamber of Commerce, Briab Alexander at the National Worldc War I Museum, Crosby Kemper at the Kansa City Library, the Rev.

Meet the stimulus panel - Memphis Business Journal:
eragywaqer.wordpress.com
Suite 202, Miami 33155 With the health care stimulus, unlike the bailouts, taxpayers will have a true returjn on their investment through the adoptiobn of electronichealth records. The technology will greatlyh improve the qualityof care, through less medicakl errors and improved accesw and disease management, while significantly contributinhg to billions of dollars in healthcarw savings. The Health Information Technology for Economivc and Clinical Health Act is not designed to fix every problej inhealth care, but it is a long overduwe and proactive approach to building the basic foundation, which evert other industry has already embraced: Electronic heath record adoption and the “real money” stimulus incentives are the first critical steps a physiciab can take in improving patient care and their practice’s financial health.
Executive VP and chief administrativr officer, Web site: Address: 6855 Red Road, Suites 600, Coral Gables 33143-3632 Phone: The stimulus plan for the statof Florida, by itself, will not support the need for funding Medicaid. The implementation of the Obama healthn care plan will transformthe industry. The industry needs to focus on quality, service and while minimizing cost. Michael W. Kesti Presidenyt and CEO, Health Ventures Web Address: 8161 S.W. 170th Terrace, Palmettk Bay 33157 Phone: Electronic health recordw (EHR) funding will significantly change the way healtb care is provided inSouth Florida.
Health care providerws who begin to utilize electronic health recorx systems soon can take advantage of governmentfundinyg offered. I anticipate that these additional fundw incentivize many in South Florida to finally begin to seriously adoptthe “EHdR mentality.” I believe that the funding from the stimuluw package will create many jobs in the healtyh care sector particularly related to the EHR industry and IT. And borrowinh from a term made popular in theReagan era, this will have a trickle-dowh effect into the rest of the economy and spur some additionapl growth.
Senior VP and chief technology and innovations Web site: Address: 3420 Fairlane Farmsw Road, Suite C, Wellington 33414 Phone: We must empower consumers with knowledge so they can manage theidr wellness. Providers will be enabled with the toolse and technologies to drastically reduc the costof operations, whilse improving quality.
