Children's Museum Names New Director April 30, 2014

Michael Long has been named the new executive director of the Great Lakes Children's Museum in Traverse City. He replaces John Noonan, who left the organization in January. Most recently, Long was the executive director for five years of The Jefferson County Administrators Association in Colorado, a professional membership association serving leaders in the Jefferson County Public Schools. Prior to that he was the executive director of the Northwoods Children's Museum in Wisconsin for eight years. The museum leadership also recently announced some new exhibits planned at the museum over the next several months. They include model boats to help kids learn about sails and wind power for watercraft, a new bridge exhibit that includes a miniature suspension bridge modeled after the Mighty Mac and a Guardians of the Great Lakes exhibit that will highlight Traverse City's designation as a Coast Guard City.
