The BMA has served the Baltimore community now for more than 100 years, and since 2006, access to its impressive collection has been free for all. After a highly successful career as a curator and director, Doreen Bolger announced her intention to step down as BMA Director in 2015. With the first executive leadership transition in seventeen years, the BMA must undertake a thoughtfully conceived and implemented national search for a new leader with the vision to embrace the collection, the community, and a solid financial future for a 21st century museum in the Baltimore region. This Management Assistance Grant funded executive search expenses.
