An established presence in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, financial community, Anthony Bland holds leadership responsibilities with Merrill Lynch Global Wealth & Investment Management and Bank of America. Active in support of a number of causes, Anthony Bland previously served on the Board of Trustees of the Museum of Discovery and Science.
One of the well-received offerings of the museum in 2018 was the Rescue Exhibit. It provided visitors with interactive insight into the ways in which rescue teams employ advanced skills and technological resources to accomplish goals in high-impact scenarios.
Sponsored by Holy Cross Hospital, the exhibit encompassed land, air, and sea rescue, with immersive scenarios including locating a missing person and ensuring that a family safely escaped a burning home.
A core focus was on the way in which teamwork between professionals with specialized areas of knowledge and training is necessary when coordinating intensive efforts. Activities also developed understanding and knowledge of the various technologies that are utilized within front-line efforts that require equal parts bravery, daring, and digital savvy.
