Established in the fall of 2009, the Director’s Council is a volunteer group of professionals and culturally-conscious individuals with a passion for furthering the mission of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Chaired by Peter Gould, the Director’s Council serves as an advisory group formed to assist in crafting major strategic plans and projects to benefit the staff, volunteers, and patrons of the Penn Museum. Including members from New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, the group meets twice a year in the spring and fall to discuss a pertinent issue in the Museum’s development.
In 2010 - 2011, three new members joined the Director's Council: Linda Descano, Brian P. Tierney, and Diane Dalto Woosnam. The October 2010 meeting focused on building a sustainable museum over the next 10 years within a forecasted climate of enormous challenges for arts and culture institutions. At its April 2011 meeting, the Council joined with student leaders of several Penn groups to discuss how better to engage the Penn student community with the Museum.
