Holland comes to the Museum from the Annapolis Maritime Museum, where he served as executive director from 2001 to 2012. “Ever since I started working here at the Captain Avery Museum in April, I’ve become so impressed with the depth of commitment and dedication at all levels, from the board of directors to the other volunteers and staff,” he says. “I’m also impressed by the level of support of local businesses and county, state and regional funding institutions,” Holland continues. “Together, we are providing a huge benefit to the community, between the programs and events, the library and collections that led to the publication of Ann Widdifield’s book, Passing Through Shady Side commemorating our rich African-American heritage, and the planting of our new RainScape Gardens that transformed the Museum campus. There are a lot of accomplishments to celebrate, and we’re setting course to accomplish even more in the future.”

Coffee and dessert will be served.
