The departure of Heather Leonard, director of operations, this month from the Tahoe Maritime Museum will bring some staff changes to the museum. Heather, who was been a valued addition to the museum and the community, will be relocating with her husband to Houston later this month.
While the museum looks for a permanent director, Richard Lashbrook, a long-time Friend of the Museum, volunteer and member since 2001 will take the helm as Interim Director.
Patty Williams has joined the staff as development associate, and Heather Laederich, a part-time summer staff associate, has accepted a full-time role as exhibits associate.
