BOCA RATON — Nancy Marshall, president of the Arthur R. Marshall Foundation for the Everglades, which champions the restoration and preservation of the greater ecosystem of Florida’s historic River of Grass, announced that Thais Piotrowski of Boca Raton has been named to the nonprofit organization’s board of directors.
“Thais Piotrowski brings nearly a decade of business experience to the Marshall Foundation, and her expertise in both wealth management and estate planning will be particularly invaluable as this growing and vital nonprofit organization approaches our 15th anniversary in 2013,” said Marshall. “I am particularly pleased that both Thais and her husband Matthew have agreed to serve as official co-chairs of our seventh annual River of Grass Gala, which will be held December 8 at The Colony Hotel, Palm Beach.”
Thais Piotrowski is a private wealth advisor and certified financial planner for Ameriprise Financial. She is also licensed as a chartered retirement planning counselor and small business financial advisor. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida, and is a huge fan of the Gators. Growing up with two parents who have careers in agronomy, and being born and raised in Brazil, where nature is valued and cared for, she has a true appreciation for the Everglades and understands its importance to future generations.
