New Discovery Center Director Hopes To Make People Feel Welcome

Laura Matzer is the new executive director at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center.  Matzer started on the job three months ago, after spending ten years prior to the pandemic helping develop museums in the Middle East.  Matzer hopes the Discovery Center can be what she termed a “third place” for people to go with home and work, a place where people feel welcome and want to stay.  The Discovery Center will be hosting its 25th anniversary celebration on May 21.
