The aim of the program is to increase support, especially financial support, for the programs of the Museum. The office has been attached to various other offices concerned with the development function over the years. At present it reports to the Director of Development and Marketing. Mary Kerr was Manager, Department of Membership and Programs, 1976-1982. Apparently the position was vacant in 1983 but was filled by Carmel Wilson, 1984; Donna Steffins, 1985; and Susan Sweetser, 1986.
