Board of Directors

The Friends of the Haggerty Museum of Art was formed by individuals who had the vision and commitment to guide the Haggerty Museum of Art in becoming a thriving art center. The goal is to enrich the lives of students and the community at large through engagement with the Museum’s collections, exhibitions, and programs. Led by a volunteer Board, the Friends of the Haggerty have sustained this mission since 1985. We’re grateful to the individuals listed below for serving as members of the Friends of the Haggerty Museum of Art Board of Directors during the 2025-26 year.
