Board of Directors
MORIAH C SULLIVAN, President
Moriah Sullivan chose to volunteer her time with CSB, because she LOVES ballet! She also loves the “professional” ballet experience and the opportunities CSB brings to the community. She has a long history with ballet. Moriah started her ballet education in 1976 in Maryland with Frederick School of Classical Ballet and performed with Maryland Regional Ballet. She danced and performed there for 13 years. Then, after a 10-year absence from ballet and moves all over the country, she landed in the Boulder area. She revisited her love for ballet and started taking local and company classes again. Eventually Moriah moved to Longmont and happened upon Longmont Dance Theatre Academy which later split to become the performance sector and non-profit, Centennial State Ballet. Moriah is a founding member of CSB and has stayed involved for the last 11 years, she is currently the sitting president for the BoD. She continues to take adult ballet classes, perform in supporting roles for CSB and she has two sons actively involved with ballet and currently performing at CSB. They love it! The youth company members she has worked with and watched grow over the years she considers her other ‘kids’. “The organization fosters and supports such amazing humans!” Moriah is a successful local business owner in the Longmont community, a mother of three children who have come to love the rewards that go hand-in-hand with performance and ballet, and a true and long-time lover of the performing arts. She currently uses her additional spare time to promote and support the inception of a performing arts complex within the city limits of Longmont as well! Ask her about the details, next time you see her around!
Moriah’s future visions for CSB include a full professional company as well as an educational aspect added to the performance piece. A well rounded company that touches every single piece of the puzzle from beginning to end!

MICHELLE GOLDSTONE
Michelle Goldstone has a BA in Liberal Students and a Masters in Special Education with a Colorado License in Elementary Education and Special Education. She has spent the last 19 years in the field of education and has a true love for educating the youth. Working with students in the school setting takes planning, organization, collaboration and coordination. In working in Special Education, she has had the opportunity to work with a staff of up to 10 people, so scheduling is a key piece of the puzzle as well.
She has always had a love for dance, but never had any formal training. Her daughter has been dancing since she was 4 years old and is now 15. We were fortunate to find CSB shortly after our move to Colorado in 2019. CSB has been able to continue her training and to build a positive community for her. Michelle knew that she wanted to be a part of this organization in order to be able to assist in its growth for the youth in our community.

RICHARD MARSH (not photographed)
Rich is a lawyer in Longmont. Mr. Marsh has served on other nonprofit boards, specifically helping with legal due diligence and documentation; but the CSB board is a new direction for him. Rich has been a long-time supporter of ballet performances, as his daughters took dance and ballet lessons when they were young and he has been a regular patron of DCPA’s Nutcracker production. Beyond that, Mr. Marsh’s experience with ballet is pretty limited and he is fortunate that the other board members are well acquainted with classical dance, leaving him to focus on legal due diligence matters for the organization. Rich would like to add: he is now also a HUGE fan of CSB’s The Nutcracker production.
JOAN REED
Joan started volunteering with the ballet in 1997 (then known as LDT) when her 3 year old daughter decided she wanted to dance. She had volunteered in many different groups around Longmont and when her daughter started dancing, she took it upon herself to once more put on her volunteer hat. As a jack of all trades when it came to the arts, including being a well-trained seamstress, this seemed to be a perfect fit. Long after her daughter had to leave because of an illness, she stayed on to volunteer with whatever needed help, but mainly under the wardrobe department of CSB. As her daughter nears 30 years of age, Joan is still doing a small amount of costuming and recently joined the CSB BoDs in order to help in other ways. As she remains actively engaged, she is interested to see the organization grow and change according to what the world brings.
