JACKSONVILLE, FLA.- The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens Board of Trustees announces the appointment of four new members: Sallie Ball, Susan DuBow, Ronald Rettner and Elaine Stallings. Sallie, Susan, and Elaine will each serve a three-year term that began on October 1, 2021. Ron will serve a two-year term as he fills a vacancy on the Board. His term began on December 2, 2021.

"On behalf of the trustees, we are so pleased to welcome these four dynamic community leaders to our Board,” said Pam D. Paul, Board of Trustees Chair. “We are very intentional about adding a diverse group of new trustees to ensure that our Board reflects our city. Their combined experience in business and nonprofit leadership adds tremendous depth to the governance of our Museum and guarantees it will continue to thrive well into the future.”

The Museum celebrates its 60th anniversary this year with a focus on its founder, Ninah Cummer’s philosophy that the organization should serve as “an art community for all.” The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens Board of Trustees has expanded now to 23 members, each providing a unique skill set while supporting a unified vision for the Museum as it looks forward to the next 60 years of serving Northeast Florida and beyond as a premier cultural resource.

“We are extremely fortunate to have a Board composed of such exceptional leaders, and our four new trustees all bring extraordinary new perspectives and voices to our work. The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens will benefit tremendously from their time, expertise and service,” said Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, Ph.D., the Museum’s George W. and Kathleen I. Gibbs Director and CEO.

Sallie Ball is a native of Jacksonville, Florida. She served on the board of the Hearing and Speech Center of Florida for two years. She also served on the council for South Miami Hospital for Women and Children, which raised money for the Baptist Foundation.

Sallie has been involved on the board of her family’s foundation, and has served on its family council. She also participated in the Jacksonville Community Foundation’s Philanthropic Initiative.

In 2000, DuBow moved home to Jacksonville to raise her daughter with family and friends. She quickly became involved in the community and created “Halloween Doors and More” for Community Hospice’s PedsCare program. Creating that event won her the 2006 “Eve Award for Volunteerism” and, in 2007, she also earned “12 Who Care” recognition. She sits on the boards of the River Garden Hebrew Home for the Aged, North Florida School of Special Education, Baptist Health Foundation, the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund and the Furyk & Friends Golf Event.
