7:00 PM April, 3rd, 2025 Tabitha Schmidt, CEO, MoAS
Good evening everyone, good evening. Love all the chatter. Welcome everyone, I’m Tabitha Schmidt . I’m the CEO here at MoAS, The Mu - seum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona. We are thrilled you are here tonight. This is actually our very first opening of 2025. Here we are, the start of the 2025 season, and I will tell you it’s a doozy this year. There’s a lot coming so pay attention. First, I would like to thank our exhibit sponsors, without their financial support we would be un - able to bring traveling exhibits to the museum and the community. My sincere gratitude to:
Thank you so much. We couldn’t do this with - out you all. I would also like to ask our Board of Trustees. If you’re here please stand, wave your hand, and let everybody know you’re here in the room. We have a fantastic Board of Trustees. Thank you for everything you do, and to our dig - nitaries and civil servants, if you’re in the room, please raise your hand and let us acknowledge you this evening. So, developing and installing exhibits takes a lot of time and talent. This exhibit was curated in-house with the artist Stephen Shooster, who you will hear from shortly, and our team of high - ly capable creative staff. My sincere gratitude and thank you to the amazing team that put this beautiful and very interesting exhibit together with Stephen; Tamara Joy, our chief curator; Zack Zacharias, our Senior Curator of History; Jenelle Codianne, Director of Design; Stepha - nie Shaw, Registrar; Ryan Lowry, Exhibitions Manager; Caleb Handlin, our Preparator; Seth Mayo, our Planetarium Director and Curator of Science; Christian Traverson, our Planetarium Manager and Assistant Curator of Science; and Katie Wedderstrand, our Planetarium Educator.
