Board of Trustees

The museum has an active and committed Board of Trustees. This governing body of CMA, in consultation with the executive director, determines the Museum's strategic direction and provides oversight. The Executive Committee of the Board, as well as the full Board, meets monthly, with the Annual Meeting held every September. CMA Board members provide expertise for nearly every aspect of the Museum's affairs, including financial planning, marketing, development, and arts education, and they give generously of their time, leadership, and financial support.
