As of January 1st, 2007, Dave Johnson has retired again, and the new Director is Erin Talmage. In his four-year term as director Dave made some big changes in the Museum; he greatly improved the infrastructure, the financial accountability, created and streamlined protocols and procedures, developed the Board, and helped develop a strategic plan. Dave spent his last month training Erin, who has worked at the Museum for four years as Museum Biologist. We wish Erin good luck in her new position, and thank Dave for all he has done in the last four years and wish him well in his retirement.
