She is a proven leader in this field and will be an asset to our communications team."

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining this dynamic organization and am excited about working with the communications team," Jacobs said. "Now that we're functioning as an open museum and are establishing our presence as a valued public resource, we will build upon the good foundation of communications support designed to advance the museum's goals and objectives."
