Maytham's position as executive director may be short term as the Museum continues to search for a long term candidate. "The board of directors is impressed with Mr. Maytham's capabilities and credentials, and he has our full confidence. We are very fortunate to have a person of Mr. Maytham's stature to guide our Museum. Continuing our search will allow Mr. Maytham to consider the possibility of staying with us on a long term basis, while providing the guidance we need in the meantime," said John Stephenson, chairman of the Museum search committee and past board president.

Responsibilities for the new executive director will include general management and operations of the Museum, leadership in the ongoing construction of the Museum, evaluation of programs and projects, and future planning.
