Maryhill Museum of Art Executive Director Colleen Schafroth has announced her retirement.  Schafroth worked for the Museum for 37 years, functioning as Maryhill’s Executive Director since 2001.  During her tenure as Executive Director, Schafroth oversaw the addition of the $10 million Mary and Bruce Stevenson Wing, dedicated in 2012, the $3.6 million renovation of the historic building between 2001 and 2003, as well as a stucco renovation campaign in 2016. Schafroth’s leadership resulted in the accreditation of the Museum by the American Alliance of Museums in 2002.  Prior to stepping into the role of Executive Director, Schafroth served as Maryhill’s Curator of Education from 1986. In that capacity, she researched and published books on the history of the Museum’s chess set collection, developed the annual Summer Art Institute and Museum Week, as well as teacher workshops, an Elderhostel program and a high school juried art and K-12 chess set design exhibitions.  Recently, Maryhill’s Board of Trustees enlisted Hagel & Company with the search for Maryhill’s new Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. The incoming Executive Director is expected to take over from Schafroth before her official last day at the Museum on September 1.
