The Andrew County Museum announced Monday it has hired Cathy Campbell as its new Executive Director.

The museum said Campbell comes to the area from the University of Washington, Seattle. Campbell holds an MA from Johns Hopkins University and specialized in community outreach and non-profit management. She replaces Harold Johnson who has been serving as Interim Director.

“Cathy has many ideas for moving our museum forward and the ACM Board looks forward to working with her,” said Jan Glenn, Board of Directors’ President.

Campbell will serve as the main public contact for the museum and collaborate with the board of directors, volunteer groups and Andrew County residents.

“I am looking forward to becoming involved in the community and presenting new museum events,” Campbell said.

An open house will be held for area residents to meet Campbell on Sunday, July 19th from 2-4 p.m. at the Andrew County Museum located at 202 E. Duncan Dr. Savannah, MO. 64485.
