Hollis Chase is an exceptional leader, entrepreneur, business development strategist and coach with more than 30 years of diverse business experience in the professional services, manufacturing, and education markets. Beginning in July 2017, Hollis has become an Executive Fellow for The Art Connection in Boston, MA.
In her role at The Art Connection, Hollis and the Board of Directors will work together to: create an actionable business development strategy with an eye toward earned revenue opportunities; re-frame the fundraising strategy; and begin to set up a short-term strategic plan. At the conclusion of her Fellowship, the plan will be handed off to more permanent leadership. The Art Connection has a proven mission placing original works of art in under-served communities by introducing the beauty of art to hundreds of our neighbors through the generous donations of artists and supporters.
At this life stage, Hollis has chosen to reinvent herself and spend more time devoted to her “portfolio life.” Hollis, who is an avid fused glass artist and photographer, says, “I particularly love working with the arts and have become more engaged and involved in this arena. I am passionate about sharing my business expertise coupled with my personal interest in art to make a difference for the arts and arts organizations in the community.”
