JILL MALUSKY, NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
JILL MALUSKY is the new Executive Director of the EHHS. Don’t let her youthful appearance fool you – since 2001 she has brought her passion and enthusiasm to art and history museums in the US and abroad. The East Hampton Star wrote a great article about her – it’s worth a read!
——————————————-
Each month, we’d like to introduce you to someone who makes the EHHS work; a staff person, a trustee, a volunteer, a member, or a community partner – it takes a lot of people to preserve and share your heritage.
