Two sources tell NCPR that Adirondack Museum executive director Caroline Welsh is stepping aside as head of the Blue Mountain Lake landmark.<\/p>\n
Welsh, who couldn’t be reached for comment today, will be replaced in the interim by Mike Lombardi while a national search is made for a permanent director.<\/p>\n
Welsh joined the museum in 1986 and has led the institution since March 2007.<\/p>\n
She made a number of key decisions during her tenure, including the scrapping of a new Lake Placid branch museum, and closure of a Lake Placid retail outlet.<\/p>\n
(Below you will find more of Welsh’s resume from the Adirondack Museum website.)<\/p>\n
There’s no word yet on why the Museum is making the change.\u00a0 NCPR will update this story as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n

Since coming to the museum in 1986, Caroline Welsh has been involved in nearly every aspect of operations. As Chief Curator she has been responsible for the administration, management, long-range planning, research, preservation and interpretation of the museum’s extensive collections with primary responsibility for the art and decorative arts collections. She has also during her tenure overseen museum publications; exhibit planning and development; education programs and the library; and the maintenance and operation for the physical plant including the grounds. As Director of Operations from 1994 through 2005, she played a leadership role in the design and implementation of three major additions to the museum campus – the Visitor Center, the Mark W. Potter Education Center, and the Collections Storage and Study Center – as well as the planning and oversight of numerous other capital improvements to the physical plant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
