Jan McKay
With more than twenty years with nonprofit cultural organizations, Jan McKay has walked many museum halls in various (comfortable) shoes. Her passion for informal learning environments comes from recognizing the connections they make in the world as they inform, serve and enhance life for visitors and communities.
From art to natural history to living history, McKay’s experience includes planning and management; relationship building; marketing and fund raising; evaluation and research, educational program planning; community collaborations, special events and more. McKay is known for her sensitive and encompassing awareness of the external audience – the visitor, the community and the donor. Her sixth sense on how decisions affect an organization’s reputation as well as its operations continue to amaze her colleagues.
