The Ohio University Board of Trustees approved the creation of an Advisory Board for
Kennedy Museum of Art this past year. The Board also established four committees that
will aid the Museum, including an Executive Committee, Exhibitions Committee, Education
Committee, and a Collections Committee. Member Joyce Richardson says the Advisory
Board will be an “important communication tool between the Museum, the University,
the community, and Friends of Kennedy.” Chairperson Vanessa Kaukonen hopes the Board
can help bring more public attention to Kennedy Museum of Art. She says, “We have a
great Advisory Board that will be working hard for the Museum, for collections, education
programs, and to get on the local and national map of great museums.”
Kennedy Museum of Art is happy to introduce the new Advisory Board Members:
