Muncie, IN—As part of a comprehensive museum-wide restructuring, Minnetrista is excited to announce a series of pivotal promotions and leadership updates. These changes underscore our commitment to improving community engagement, fostering innovation, and applying equitable management practices while positioning us for sustained growth and impact. The revamped leadership team is integrating seamlessly with our current leaders—Brian Statz, President and CEO; Lindsey Horan, Chief Operating Officer (formerly Vice President of Community Engagement); James Mitchell, Senior Director of Administration (formerly Director of HR and Employee Experience); and Tania Said, Vice President of Exhibitions & Programs—to drive our strategic vision forward. Through thoughtful reorganization, we accomplished these promotions while maintaining our existing personnel budget.
President and CEO Brian Statz emphasizes the significance of these promotions and the integration of experts into our leadership team. “By placing professionals who excel in their respective fields at the leadership table, we are establishing a management system rooted in equity and skill. This approach ensures that Minnetrista remains a leader in community engagement and organizational excellence, guided by a team that embodies our values and vision. Mindful of our fiscal responsibility and obligations to our funders and community, I am proud that we were able to reorganize without increasing expenses.”
As Minnetrista moves forward with these strategic updates, we are poised to build on our rich history and strengthen our role as a cultural hub. We are committed to continuing our tradition of excellence and innovation, ensuring that our museum and gardens remain a welcoming and inspiring destination for all. Stay tuned for exciting developments and new initiatives that will further our mission of connecting people and enriching our community.
