How would you go about building a new museum in a politically heated moment and aimed at telling the story of one of the nation's greatest tragedies? How would you rally staff and board to make the endeavor a reality? Join me as I talk with Alice Greenwald, CEO and President of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, about what it took to imagine and realize the museum - located in the footprints of the original World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, seven stories below grade. From the importance of working with communities to a vision of creating experiences through storytelling, as well as ongoing adaptations during the pandemic, we explore how Greenwald's leadership style has evolved and lessons she's learned along the way .

What should you ask an assistant to take off your plate? What should new leaders think about when building a board?

What happens when two cultural nonprofits with a shared history (and shared audiences, donors, and larger communities) decide to join forces? And, what does this transition look like in the context of an ongoing pandemic? In this episode, we talk with Nat Sheidley, President and CEO at Revolutionary Spaces in Boston, Massachusetts, about how he led his team through a merger of the city's Old State House and Old South Meeting House. From developing board task forces to really understanding where a new mission and vision could take the organizations once they came together under one umbrella, Nat and his team are delivering innovative approaches to history and have committed to exploring what "We the people" can really mean.
