New President/CEO at the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA – The Board of Directors announced today the appointment of Gail Naughton to the position of President/CEO of the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library (NCSML).
Naughton comes to the NCSML after 15 years at Clarke College in Dubuque, where she served as Vice President for Institutional Advancement. She also held leadership positions in public relations and development while at Clarke College. During her tenure, she was responsible for fund raising, public relations, marketing, communications, and publications. Naughton has a Bachelor of Science degree from Creighton University and has completed graduate coursework at the University of Nebraska and the University of Iowa.
"I became familiar with the Czech Republic and Slovakia when my husband, Dennis, was in business there in the 1990s," commented Naughton. "Now, I am honored to work with such a dynamic and exciting organization as the NCSML to celebrate the vibrant Czech and Slovak culture. It is important locally, nationally, and internationally to have institutions such as the NCSML who are attentive to our history and who recognize and remember those who made our country great."
"We are thrilled to have Gail on board and believe she will continue to develop the NCSML’s role in the local and national Czech and Slovak communities," stated NCSML board chair Gene Mahacek.
Naughton replaces Dan Baldwin who left the president/ceo position at the NCSML in June of this year to become the current president/ceo of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation.
The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library is the leading United States museum collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting Czech and Slovak Culture. The NCSML is located at 30-16th Ave. SW, Cedar Rapids. For more information, please call (319) 362-8500 or consult the web site at www.NCSML.org
