Nimbus Dance Celebrates 20 Years with Appointment of
Five Leaders in Business, Arts, and Design, to Join Board of Directors
For Immediate Release:
03/26/2025
[Jersey City, NJ] – As Nimbus Dance celebrates 20 years of artistic and community impact and prepares for an expansive new era of growth, the organization announces the appointment of five new members to its Board of Directors. These new appointments bring diverse experience in finance, communications, architecture, philanthropy, and the arts—adding strength and perspective as Nimbus embarks on its third decade.
New members of the Board of Directors:
LeToya Bacon – Founder & Chief Communications Officer, LAB Public Relations
Sanjay Chauhan – Chief Financial Officer, Pan Am Equities
Andrea Gunden – Musician, Investor, and Philanthropist
Rachel Ptak – Associate & Sector Marketing Leader, DLR Group
Ken Tanaka – Registered Architect
The announcement comes ahead of the Nimbus Rose Gala on April 5, 2025—Nimbus’ annual fundraiser and celebration—taking place at Canopy Jersey City Arts District and the Nimbus Arts Center. Nimbus rides a wave of momentum stemming from December’s sold-out Nutcracker performances, named on TimeOut NY’s list of “Best NYC Christmas Shows”, and recent acclaimed performances with the New Jersey Symphony at NJPAC. The new board members join current members Wendy Paul, Stephanie Daniels, Reinfred Forson, Hali Epstein, Rae DuBose, Gennean Scott-Gray, and Samuel Pott.
“Nimbus celebrates 20 years of immersive work in the community, the creation of new dance, and forging a model for what engaged performing arts can look like,” said Nimbus Founding Artistic Director Samuel Pott. “Facing the challenges of an age of uncertainty and fragmentation, these five exceptional new members of Nimbus’ Board of Directors represent a tremendous boost to our organization as we envision our next chapter, redoubling our commitment to exceptional dance, service to our community, and leadership during turbulent times.”
