DISTINGUISHED SERVICE IN THE ARTS NEVADA BALLET THEATRE, LAS VEGAS Co-founded by Nancy Houssels, the Nevada Ballet Theatre celebrates its 35th year in 2007 as a respected regional ballet company with a commitment to excellence, education, outreach and community service. For more than three decades, NBT has marshaled loyalty from volunteers, financial support from individuals to major corporations, partnerships with schools and educational institutions, and the collective support of the entire community. The result is a multi-million dollar arts organization with 39 dancers on contract, 20 full-time staff members and a dance academy with a faculty of 16 teaching more than 600 students annually. Artistic Director Bruce Steivel, celebrating his 10th year with NBT, has enriched the company repertoire with new works, while overseeing the Academy to prepare a new generation of young people to appreciate and participate in dance. Through its Future Dance program, NBT provides comprehensive instruction, curricular resources and community services for elementary and middle school students in partnership with the Clark County Public Education Foundation. Former member of the Board of Directors and current Member Emeritus, Elaine Wynn wrote, “I have observed first-hand the extraordinary development of the company from the initial group of dancers from the Strip - known as Nevada Dance Theatre - to the present group of internationally acclaimed performers. I am proud to support one of Nevada's most important cultural treasures.”
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE IN THE ARTS D AVID BUGLI, C ARSON CITY “Giving back to your community…I can think of none who stands above David Bugli in his years of leadership and personal contributions in providing music and music education for Carson City and our Capital Region,” writes former Carson City Mayor Ray Massayko. As an artist, administrator and volunteer, Bugli began shaping the cultural landscape of northern Nevada upon his arrival in Carson City in 1983, when he discovered there was no orchestra in the capital city.

Under his leadership as conductor and music director, the Symphony presents a full season each year and has gained an international reputation for premiering new works of contemporary composers. The organization now includes the Carson City Chamber Singers and sponsors a youth orchestra and Strings in the Schools, an after-school program providing free violin instruction to students in grades 2 through 5. Bugli also serves as director and keyboardist of the Mile High Jazz Band, which he founded in 1998. Both groups were selected to participate in Continental Harmony, a national millennium project of the American Composers Forum and the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1998, he helped bring arts organizations and artists together to form the Carson Arts Coalition and created an annual summer Jazz Festival in 2004.With a BS in Music Education from Ithaca College and a Master of Music Degree from the University of Massachusetts, Bugli decided to go into data processing, a career that
