Gretchen Jennings Named Exhibitionist Editor

The National Association for Museum Exhibition is very pleased to  
announce the appointment of Gretchen M. Jennings as Managing Editor  
for our journal  Exhibitionist.  Beginning with the Fall 2007 issue,  
Gretchen will be responsible for the content and production of the  
journal, and will provide leadership and vision to guide its future  
growth.

A recognized leader in museum exhibition and education, Gretchen  
brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this appointment. For  
over 15 years, her prize-winning exhibitions have offered museum  
visitors memorable opportunities to play, interact, and engage with  
innovative subject-matter. At the Smithsonian Institution National  
Museum of American History (NMAH) Lemelson Center, she was project  
director for Invention at Play, overseeing the development of two  
touring exhibitions and their accompanying programs. Previously, she  
served as project director and educator for Psychology: Understanding  
Ourselves, Understanding Each Other, for the American Psychological  
Association and the Ontario Science Center.  Most recently, Gretchen  
has served as NMAH’s Director of Education for Interpretation and  
Visitor Experience, managing education staff for exhibition  
development, hands-on spaces, visitor services, evaluation and  
accessibility.

As well as a respected practitioner of exhibition development and  
museum education, Gretchen also brings to Exhibitionist her  
invaluable experience as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Museum  
Education, a position she held from 1996–1999. Gretchen’s appointment  
represents a significant milestone in the development of  
Exhibitionist as the journal continues to grow in stature within the  
museum profession. We welcome the guidance she brings to this  
position, and look forward to her tenure.
