EASTON — The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra (MSO) Board of Directors has recently elected Rebecca Pille to its Board. The orchestra's mission is to inspire, enrich, educate, and entertain a diverse audience of all ages through live musical performances and to engage students in the world of music through its Outreach Programs.
This mission is only possible with the support and guidance of a strong board of directors, a statement from the orchestra said on Tuesday. With an extensive background in federal service, higher education, and a passion for classical music, Pille brings a wealth of experience to the organization.
Her journey in music began in second grade when her parents gave her a piano and lessons. This early introduction to music blossomed into a lifelong passion. Throughout her life, she has played as a soloist and accompanist, and taught piano, continually nurturing her love for classical music.
Pille's professional career spans nearly four decades in federal service and an additional decade in higher education. Her expertise in leadership, change management, communication, creativity, and public speaking have been instrumental in various roles, where she has shared her knowledge to support the personal and professional goals of others.
During her 25-year focus on organization development and change, and individual development and behavior change, Pille became a recognized leader in workplace wellness. She led, designed, and delivered holistic health programs and services to a global workforce toward the end of her federal service career (1978-2015). Currently, as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, she teaches courses on integrative health sciences; mindfulness, meditation, and health; and self-care and health behavior change. She has also chaired the University's Health and Wellness Coaching Department (2016-2021) and the Faculty Senate and is a published academic researcher and a peer reviewer for Health Literacy Research and Practice.
Pille's formal education includes a PhD in Psychology (Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine), an MS in Applied Behavioral Science, and a BA in Soviet Area Studies and Russian language. Her professional education features certifications in intelligence research, health and wellness coaching, workplace wellness, body-mind consciousness, and yoga.
In addition to her academic contributions, Pille is a member of The Parke’s Design Review Committee, supporting her local neighborhood. She is now eager to re-engage her love of music by volunteering her services to the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra.
"We are delighted to welcome Rebecca Pille to our Board of Directors," said Jeffrey Parker, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra. "Her vast experience and passion for classical music make her a valuable addition to our organization. We look forward to her contributions and leadership in advancing our mission."
