oard of advisors What does one say about the incredible leadership that has been shown by Kim Rorschach over these past eight years? Oh yes, I’m sure if she had been only half as good we would have thought we were doing fine. It’s that second half that made it extraordinary. From the opening of the museum to the welcoming of the campus community, Kim’s leadership has been exemplary. Let’s not forget that the museum has brought more citizenry from Durham to the campus than ever before. We knew the day was coming when Kim would take the next step in her illustrious career and, of course, it’s always too soon. We wish for her a duplication of all the successes at Duke at the Seattle Art Museum. They are a fortunate community to have her leadership. Again, this year was another incredible one at the Nasher Museum with Alexander Calder alone drawing more than 40,000 visitors. We continue to develop our collection and since our opening in 2005 we have grown the African-American collection to near the top of all university museums in the country. Also, it’s a great time to celebrate this fall’s presentation of the collection of our esteemed Board of Advisors member Jason Rubell. I thank each and every one of you for all you do and continue to do for the museum. I’m looking forward to my new role as Chairman Emeritus. Thanks so much, Kim, and thanks to all of you. It’s been a wonderful time. Blake Byrne Chairman Nasher Museum Board of Advisors See full listing of Board of Advisors on page 44. Board of Advisors 28031_Text.indd 5 11/28/12 3:24 AM 5
