Hood Quarterly, spring/summer 2011
The Hood is pleased to announce that two new full-time staff members joined our team in late 2010.
Nicole Gilbert [Williams] joined the Hood staff in November as Exhibitions Coordinator. She is an experienced member of the museum community and comes from her news most recent post at The Women's Museum: An Institute for the Future in Dallas,Texas, where she was Exhibits Manager and Registrar. Nicole has roots in the area, previously spending several years at both Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. She received her degree in art history from the University of New Hampshire.
In December, Julie Ann Otis joined the Hood staff as the Development and Membership Coordinator. Over the previous six years, Julie Ann has crafted an early career in arts management while working with the Theatre and Dance Departments at Smith College and two professional theatre companies—New Century Theatre in Northampton, Massachusetts, and Boston's SpeakEasy Stage Company—in multifaceted administrative, marketing, development, and special-event-planning capacities. Julie Ann holds a B.A. in theater from Smith College.
