Roseman served as Chairman since 2009, and 10 years prior to that, as legal counsel. During his tenure on the board, Roseman was instrumental in re-locating the Art League from Elwood to its larger facility in Dix Hills.  

Since that time, the Art League has expanded to serve about 3,000 art students annually, offers more than 200 art classes and workshops throughout the year, and established a first-class gallery featuring works by local and national artists.
