Board of Directors
Ross Thomas
Neighbors suggested strongly that the Willow Oak Chorale would be a great fit for my wife and me since we liked to sing and wanted to meet new people. I was immediately impressed with the professionalism and level of performance by the Chorale. I soon discovered this approach was consistent throughout their organization. I volunteered to help with some events and soon found I was asked to become a member of the board.

I am excited to be joining the Board for Willow Oak. I was fortunate as a child to have the opportunity to take piano lessons, harp lessons, and art lessons. These absolutely enriched my life and inspired me and led me to ultimately obtain a degree in Musical Arts (Harp). Now I want to give back and support such opportunities for other children and adults to be involved in the arts here locally in our community.

When I moved to Springfield I quickly saw the impact that Willow Oak makes on our community and our youth. Upon meeting Muzetta, I knew I wanted to be involved within this organization. My passion lies in Community Development and Music, which makes serving on the Board of Directors a true honor.

Willow Oak had been on my radar for years. So when Muzetta asked me to serve on the board, a new door opened and I stepped through it. The reason for serving is simple: I love the arts and I want to see music and the arts promoted in the larger community, especially with children. What’s the old song say? “Music is a universal language and love is the key; to peace, love and understanding; and living in harmony…” That says it for me.

This year I received a call from Muzetta Miller to be a part of the board of directors for this wonderful organization and I couldn’t have been happier because the arts are near and dear to my heart. As someone who has sung in the church, high school and collegiate choirs, played the alto saxophone throughout high school, and even took private voice lessons from the amazing Muzetta Miller, my answer was immediately yes!

As a Realtor, my Community is my passion. It goes beyond subdivisions and rural homes. It’s the creatives that I love, the entrepreneurs going for it, the bakeries, the coffee houses, the hole in the wall restaurants, the boutiques that sell local artist wares, the small farmers with their CSA’s, the talented actors, musicians, and singers that entertain us with their top notch performances, it’s the creative people that make Robertson County so special to me.

As a newcomer to Springfield, I looked for opportunities to take art classes and to volunteer. I found both at Willow Oak Center for Arts and Learning. The art classes are fun and greatly expand my artistic abilities. Volunteering gives me time with the Willow Oak staff and Board of Directors, a group of talented individuals who work well together. Serving as a Board member will allow me to help Willow Oak continue to provide a varied curriculum of high-quality and interesting artistic classes and events.
