In addition to the meet and greet each candidate will give a presentation. Please come join us as we take our final steps in this selection process.

Thursday will be a day of discovery for the candidates and us. They will tour both the Wells House and the Museum. They will meet staff and gain a better understanding of the great programs and events that we do. They will be interviewed by a panel of both board and community leaders. Then they will get to meet the community to wrap up their day.
