"Nancy Sagar has been an outstanding asset to Theatre Artists Studio. Not only has she organized our marketing strategies with her expertise, time and leadership, but she has become a friend and mentor to our organization as well.  We love her and we love Business Volunteers for the Arts for bringing us together."

-- Carolyn MacLeod, President, Theatre Artists
