Our community members have always been such an important part of our work - whether through partnering, donating, visiting, or cheerleading - I hope you will all join me in continuing to support the organization as it evolves!

I will be winding down over the next few months, and will continue to dedicate myself to the local needs of DC.

The Heurich House will forever be a part of me - it made me who I am and taught me almost everything I know. I am so excited to see what the museum’s next chapter looks like!
