\u201cThis is a tremendous professional opportunity for me, and I am grateful to my fellow board members for placing their trust in me,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cMy selection also reflects the high regard people throughout Tennessee have for Tusculum University and our intricate ties to our state\u2019s history as the first higher education institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuseums play an important role in advancing knowledge of the past and its connection to life today. I\u2019m pleased to help museums in Tennessee inspire, engage and connect to their audiences and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The association was founded in 1960 and fosters communication and cooperation between museums, cultural societies and other members on matters of common interest. It also encourages publication and dissemination of information on Tennessee\u2019s past as well as development of professional standards for its members.<\/p>\n

Boyd has served as director of museums at Tusculum since 2010. She oversees the budget for the Doak House Museum<\/a> and the President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library<\/a> on the Greeneville campus. She also provides strategic planning for the department, creates new public programs and exhibits and serves as school programs manager.<\/p>\n

Before coming to Tusculum, she served as a graduate research assistant at Middle Tennessee State University. There, she performed document and photograph conservation and curatorial tasks, helped design public programs and exhibits and spoke to community groups. She also served for 11 years as a theater arts, English and speech teacher for Rutherford County Schools.<\/p>\n

Boyd has made three presentations at the Tennessee Association of Museums\u2019 annual conference and two at the Southeast Museums Conference. At Tusculum, she recently served as a lecturer for two sessions of the Theologian-In Residence series.<\/p>\n

\u201cDollie has made significant contributions to the understanding of history at Tusculum and has helped position us a leader in the museum industry,\u201d said Dr. Madison Sowell, the university\u2019s provost and vice president of academic affairs. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled the Tennessee Association of Museums is utilizing her leadership skills in such a meaningful way through her civic engagement as president.\u201d<\/p>\n
