BECOME A MEMBER Nelson Lees English: Nelson is a semi-retired, multilingual international businessman who has had the good fortune to live, work and study around the world. He has worked in the private sector with several global companies and also served as an executive with USRowing and as a Vietnam-era U.S. Army officer. An honors graduate from Monmouth College (IL), Nelson holds a Masters in Public Administration (MPA) from Harvard Kennedy School, and he is also a Harvard Business School alumnus. Nelson is also a member of the Florida’s Advisory Committee to the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), advocating with the U.S. Congress to put global economic development and diplomacy (including art and cultural exchanges) on the same footing as our national defense. Since arriving in St. Petersburg, Nelson has remained active in the area’s international community, including the St. Petersburg World Affairs Council and at Eckerd College as the Vice-President of the Academy of Senior Professionals at Eckerd College (ASPEC). Nelson was immediately drawn to the MFA and its encyclopedic collection of art from around the globe and across the centuries. One of Nelson’s greatest joys over the years at the MFA has been sharing how art can transcend language and cultural differences, providing space for what has been referred to as a universal form of communication cultural differences.
