Ilano Xinos began her position on May 4.<sup><br \/>\n<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>She passed along her thoughts in the recent Jamestown Downtown Association newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This time of year, when you hear\u00a0about an addition to the National Buffalo\u00a0Museum, it is typically an addition\u00a0to the herd in the form of a baby bison.\u00a0Not so for this addition. The museum\u00a0recently hired me as its new Executive\u00a0Director. I have called Jamestown\u00a0home since 2008. My main responsibility\u00a0is to ensure that the museum\u00a0achieves its mission: &#8220;to foster\u00a0awareness of the cultural and historical\u00a0significance of the North American\u00a0bison.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I see community involvement as a\u00a0necessary component of sustaining the<br \/>\nvision of the museum&#8217;s founders. I planto spread the word about the museum<br \/>\nand its mission within the community in\u00a0hopes of growing our membership &#8211; it<br \/>\nis surprising how many people in\u00a0Jamestown don&#8217;t know about or have\u00a0never been to the museum. Buffalo are\u00a0part of what makes Jamestown unique,\u00a0and getting the community involved in\u00a0what we do will be a way to maintain<br \/>\nJamestown&#8217;s distinct character as &#8220;The\u00a0Buffalo City.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another way to become involved in\u00a0the museum is to volunteer. Expanding<br \/>\nthe museum&#8217;s volunteer base will help\u00a0us make changes to its exhibits and increase\u00a0educational program offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The museum has only two full-time employees,\u00a0part-time gaming employees,<br \/>\nand seasonal help, and like many other\u00a0nonprofits, relies on the help of volunteers.\u00a0If your organization is interested\u00a0in partnering with the us, or if you or\u00a0someone you know wants to know\u00a0more about the membership options or<br \/>\nbecoming a volunteer, contact me at\u00a0252-8648 or at:<\/p>\n<p>director@buffalomuseum.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown (CSi) The National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown has a new director.
