SARATOGA SPRINGS — In the midst of the pandemic and the chaos of our daily lives, members of the community have stepped up to join the board, renew their terms and lead our museum into a bold path for the future.
David Martin became Board President in January of this year and volunteered to extend his term by an additional year to help the museum through the current crisis. Martin is a native of Saratoga, is currently serving his third term on the board and is the son of two of the Museum’s founders, Alice and Randy Martin.
Brandon Ture, another Saratoga native, has agreed to serve his third term on the board as chair of the facilities committee. Ture has two young children who help guide his thoughts on exhibits and their durability. The museum bids a farewell to Jennifer Allen, Immediate Past President, who brought her creativity, passion and fundraising experience to the museum for six years.
This Spring Nicole Rodgers, Katelyn Donovan and Lou Ann Stewart joined the Museum board. Rodgers owns her own law firm in Saratoga and is the mother of young children who attend school in the Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake school district. Rodgers’ business acumen, legal knowledge and experiences as a mother have already proved invaluable.
Donovan reports, “I am very excited to join The Children’s Museum at Saratoga. Growing up in the Saratoga area, and having had a few of my own celebrations at the museum, I am looking forward to being a part of creating exciting ways to continue to support the children of Saratoga for the next 30 years.”
Donovan’s experience in development has been incredibly helpful during this unprecedented challenge for nonprofits.
Stewart lives in Halfmoon and has wonderful memories of bringing her children to the Museum when they were young. Stewart’s expertise in strategic planning and marketing are necessary skills for the Museum as we continue to plan for our future.
