Greensboro’s International Civil Rights Center and Museum officially introduces its new No. 2 executive, chief operating officer Bayard “Bay” Love, while interim chief executive officer John Swaine was named to the position on a permanent basis:
The museum board’s Chairwoman Deena Hayes-Greene told the News & Record about Swaine’s promotion Monday. The news came during an interview that included Love and board member Ron Milstein, who is a vice president and chief counsel at Lorillard.
…Hayes-Greene said the board is trying to develop a more collaborative professional staff rather than the top-down structure it used in the past.
She and Milstein said board members voted unanimously to hire Love, who has a background in business, public policy and working for racial justice.
“We have not had a unified board (in the past),” Milstein said. “That has changed. Today, I can tell you that we’re unified.
“(Love) is our first concrete step into that future.”
Once again the leadership insists the museum is not in a dire financial situation. We’ll see what Bay Love, who has a background as a community organizer, will do to get the museum on the right track.
