Dear Friend,
In my final few days at the Bronx Museum, I am filled with gratitude: serving as your Executive Director has truly been one of the greatest joys and accomplishments of my life. Thank you all for your unwavering belief in me and in this Museum.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have met so many intelligent and creative people during my time in the Bronx. It has been a privilege to be part of such a vibrant community and to work with a team that is so passionate about the Museum’s mission to expand access to world-class contemporary art.
The Museum has been a significant part of my life for seven years and I have cherished every moment here. So it was with the utmost care and consideration that I made the decision to embark on a new chapter of my career.
I am proud to leave the Bronx Museum in the capable hands of our dedicated Board of Directors and talented staff. The Board has named Deputy Director Shirley Solomon and Chief Advancement Officer Yvonne Garcia as interim leadership. Both of them have a deep understanding of the Museum’s values and I have the utmost confidence in their ability to guide the organization.
I feel truly blessed to have had this experience and to have become part of the Bronx Museum family. The Museum will always hold a special place in my heart I will happily continue to follow and support its many accomplishments into the future!
With heartfelt thanks,
Klaudio Rodriguez
Executive Director
