The Delmarva Discovery Center Board of Directors is extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Stacey Weisner of Salisbury as their new Executive Director. “Stacey’s experience is a perfect fit for us and under her leadership I know the future of the Delmarva Discovery Center is very bright” according to Susan B. Pusey, DDC Board Chair.
Stacey brings years of non-profit and management know-how to the job including extensive community involvement. She most recently was at the Delmarva Zoological Society, where she led the new organization in exceeding the $3 million capital campaign to renew the Salisbury Zoo.
“I’m honored and excited to have an opportunity to make a contribution and am looking forward to showing the Center off and creating local and regional pride. It is well worth the drive and you will be amazed at what is inside the 16,000 square foot building.”
“What really attracted me to the job was evident from the moment you walk into the Center and see the sailboat in the hallway. Children can climb into the 14’ cat boat and are transformed into sailors. They have the opportunity to move the rudder as wind fills the sail of the cat boat. As you continue to walk through the museum you can explore a life size two-story steamship that takes you back in time. The 6,000 gallon aquarium allows you to see what lives within the murky wonders of the Pocomoke River, including our prehistoric fish Long Nose Gar and Sturgeon. Visitors can experience various dive programs. Learn how divers communicate underwater, and visit with our resident mermaid. The DDC captures the cultural and natural beauties of the Delmarva region” she said.
Stacey invites everyone to attend the free Winter Watermen’s Festival at DDC on Dec 13, from 11 am – 3 pm.
Stacey will serve as the main public contact and spokesperson for the Delmarva Discovery Center. She invites everyone to visit the Center located at 2 Market Street, Pocomoke City, or contact at 410-957-9933, stacey@DelmarvaDiscoveryCenter.org, or visit the website at www.DelmarvaDiscoveryCenter.org,
