Lawrence P. Booth

The New Hope Colony Foundation for the Arts (NHCFA) has announced Lawrence P. Booth of New Hope, Pa., as its new president of the board of trustees. Booth takes the helm of the nonprofit organization that is centered in the village just north of New Hope Borough that is the “birthplace” of the Pennsylvania Impressionists. The NHCFA seeks to preserve the buildings that make up the art colony and propel the area into the future by encouraging and promoting the arts.

A resident of New Hope since 1995, Booth is a longtime teacher at Carrier Clinic/Hackensack Meridian Health in Belle Mead. He also is a director of the Delaware Valley Fire Museum and has served on the boards of the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury and Friends of the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury. He proudly served in the U. S. Air Force. Booth brings a wealth of knowledge, ability, and enthusiasm to the New Hope Colony board.

“It is an honor to collectively work with such a dedicated board to assist them in bringing the organization’s vision, mission, and philanthropy to fruition,” said Booth.
Founder Eleanor Miller says, “I am so elated that Lawrence entertained the idea to lead yet another nonprofit. I’m grateful that he accepted my request to lead the board as I know his competence and ability will be an asset to not only the Foundation but the arts community as a whole.”

The New Hope Colony Foundation for the Arts is located at 2594 River Road in New Hope, Pa. For more information, visit newhopecolony.org.
