The newest governors are: Katherine Bishop ’87, founder of global consulting agency Campfire; Matthew Rubin, senior director of digital pathways at Marriott International; Nicole A. Vanasse, president of the board of directors of the Ossorio Foundation; Andres Azucena Verzosa, executive director and curator of the Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington, Conn.; and William Whitney ’16, associate director at David Lewis Gallery in New York. Returning to the board is Bree Jeppson ’93, founder and co-manager of the Rolex Mentors & Protégé Arts Initiative.

Jacqueline Terrassa, the Carolyn Muzzy Director of the Colby College Museum of Art, said the new and returning governors will help the museum continue to grow and meet its goals in new and innovative ways.

“In just a few years, the Colby College Museum of Art has become a dynamic and multi-site academic art museum with a strong community orientation. We are committed to amplifying the creative lives of Colby students and of neighbors in our immediate community of Waterville while shaping the contours of American art through collaborative and experimental exhibition-making, teaching, scholarship, programming, and artistic practice,” Terrassa said. “Through their advice, connections, and support, the remarkable group of governors who have recently joined our board will help us realize our vision for the museum at a time of expanded arts opportunities in our city and state. I am excited to work with such innovative and people-centered volunteer leaders.”
