President’s Message
Greetings! Rebecca Rizzo, Board President, here. I am incredibly grateful to be serving as the Board of Trustees President after serving on the board for seven years. I’m excited to share my very first update on the adventures at the museum.
I wanted to start with our staff. We have been able to expand our staff of one to a staff of three now. Our first hire was Cory. He oversees Grounds Campus Maintenance. You will see him often around the museum making sure that our garden is kept up to standards. The next hire added to our staff is Therese. Therese is our Program Developer. She has been at work building her network of relationships in the valley. You may have even gotten a call from her. Her task is to create amazing programs for our members and communities to enjoy. Our final staff addition is Cynthia. She has excitedly accepted the position of our office administrator and board assistant. She comes with incredible experience and a deep understanding of our local community.
We are always looking for volunteers if you’re interested in getting involved. Send us an email if you or someone you know would like to donate time to the museum.
If volunteering isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other ways to get involved at the museum:
Donate to a specific museum project, like our Railway Project
Tell a teacher about our School Tours (they’re back!)
Sign up your child for the Junior Historians Program
We're building great relationships with community partners, allowing us to expand and bring more to our campus for everyone to enjoy. I invite you to build your relationship with the museum this season.
See you at the Museum,
Rebecca Rizzo
President
Board of Trustees
Coachella Valley History Museum
