The United States Marshals Museum has announced the resignation of the organization’s President and CEO, Patrick Weeks, effective immediately.
“We are most grateful to Patrick for his valuable contributions to the museum project. He oversaw the construction of the museum building and worked with Thinkwell Group to design all of the museum experiences which will soon be under construction,” said Doug Babb, USMM Board Chairperson.
The USMM also announced that it has retained Lindauer to conduct a national search for a new President and CEO. The firm is one of the nation’s leading retained executive search firms focused on nonprofits. “The Lindauer firm successfully recruited the USMM Foundation President and Chief Development Officer Anthony Meyer earlier this year. They already have a complete understanding of the project and are well-positioned to effectively recruit a replacement for Weeks,” said Babb.
The process is expected to take approximately four months. “This is a highly attractive position for a candidate who has had success running a large national or regional museum,” Babb continued. “A new CEO with a proven track record of achievement in museum operations will add tremendous value to this project. As I’ve mentioned previously, the museum experience fabrication process is on schedule, and we continue to receive significant donations from new donors.”
Until a replacement for Weeks is hired, Babb will continue to be responsible for day-to- day operations and coordinate progress in the project with staff and the USMM and USMM Foundation Boards.
