The Faces of ASDM Board Leadership
从一开始, ASDM的创始人, 亚瑟包 and 比尔 卡尔 demonstrated strong vision and leadership. Shortly after the Museum’s opening on Labor Day, 1952, 比尔 卡尔 began to look ahead to the Museum’s organizational and fiscal needs.
—‘the Museum had arrived at a point where it was essential to make some fundamental management and policy arrangements. Some fiscal support might soon become urgent. A formal organization and an incorporated, non-profit status were mandatory.
(It was) time to broaden the base of what was destined to become an important demonstration in outdoor education, as well as a community showpiece.
To get the ball rolling toward a Board, I solicited the help of young 比尔 Woodin who, willy-nilly was on the town’s social register — There were many prominent residents who had expressed interest in the Museum — did he know of any who would be willing to serve as its Trustee?’ — and so the Museum board development began.
With its first gathering in April, 1953, the ASDM Board of Directors (later Board of Trustees) read like a who’s who of Tucson’s leaders:
亚瑟包
ASDM创始人之一
大约在1960年代
亚瑟N. 包, the co-founder and first ASDM President was one of the co-founders of the American Nature Association of Washington, D. C. and for many years Editor of 《世界杯app软件推荐》杂志. In 1934, he moved to New Mexico where he founded Ghost Ranch. 在20世纪40年代, 他搬到了图森, Arizona where he was one of its leading citizens as President of the YMCA, Chairman of the County Park and Recreation program, a Director of the Chamber of Commerce and an active member of many other civic and philanthropic groups.
罗伊·查普曼·安德鲁斯
大约在1920年代
罗伊·查普曼·安德鲁斯, the first Vice-President was internationally known as an author, 资源管理器, a former Director of the American Museum in New York, Director and organizer of the American Museum Gobi Desert Expeditions, and noted paleontologist. He made his winter home in Tucson, Arizona and was one of the Museum’s leading supporters. The 罗伊·查普曼·安德鲁斯 研究 Fund was established at ASDM in 1960 in his honor, and continues to this day.
约瑟夫·伍德·克鲁奇 & 朋友
——60年代前后
约瑟夫·伍德·克鲁奇, the first Secretary-Treasurer, was one of the country's leading nature, philosophical and bibliographical authors. He was formerly Professor of English and Drama at Columbia University in New York. He was also a dramatic critic, a field naturalist, and editor of several leading journals. A Tucson resident, he served on the board for seventeen years.
夫人. G. H. d 'Autremont represented a link with Tucson’s early history and of Arizona representing the Phelps Dodge Corporation mining interests and railroad developments in the region. She was one of Arizona’s most public spirited citizens.
夫人. 刘易斯W. 道格拉斯, wife of our former Ambassador to the Court of St. 詹姆斯,女士. Douglas was a foremost leader both in the East and the West in such civic enterprises as the International Red Cross where her ability as an organizer was well known.
夫人. R.E. Ellinwood, co-publisher of the Arizona Daily Star of Tucson, was from the start a strong supporter who aided in every way to publicize the Museum’s efforts.
乔治•布什(George W. 室, a newspaper executive of long experience in the Southwest, he was also a publisher in his own right. His Arizona Silhouettes Press was well known. He was a leading member of the Arizona Pioneer Historical Society and a leader in the establishment of the ‘new’ Historical Museum in Tucson.
罗伯特D. 明天, Superintendent of Tucson 学校s, was an outstanding Southwestern educator, who won national recognition for his work in building what was to become Tucson Unified 学校 District.
比尔 卡尔 wrote of them, ‘I don't know any other museum with so devoted a board. I'm most proud that I got that first board together. They took the ball and carried it.’
And so it grew — and with board development came formal organization as — “Later that year (1953), we were duly organized, ‘… a non-profit educational corporation established under the laws of the State of Arizona’ and were empowered to conduct, 操作, maintain and carry on an indoor and outdoor educational institution, fostering study and evaluation of natural history … to the end that visitors to, 和当地居民, Arizona may obtain an understanding and rounded view of all forms of desert life … in order that the study of the natural sciences and/or resource conservation may be furthered”
The Board of Trustees continued to expand over the years with some well-known faces and the successors of those original trustees have included community leaders, 科学家们, 作家, 艺术家, 政客们, 和演员, 包括:
约翰·詹姆森——1970
约翰·詹姆逊 filled many roles at the Desert Museum from 1956 to 1978. He was elected president of the board in 1962 and reelected for five additional 条款. Later, he was employed by the Museum as development officer, then as chief administrative officer. 在他的指导下, a multi-million-dollar campaign was conducted that provided the means to expand the Museum. John, an eloquent spokesman for the Museum, was particularly fond of otters. As a surprise for his seventieth birthday, his extended family purchased a pair of them, given in his name to the Museum.
Dr. Lawrence M. 古尔德
南极- 1969年
Dr. 劳伦斯·米. 古尔德 served as second-in-command and chief scientist on Admiral Richard E. Byrd's Antarctic Expedition, which established ‘Little America’ in 1929. 古尔德 was a valued trustee of the Desert Museum in 1969, when he made one of his return trips to the South Pole. With him he carried ASDM's flag, designed by Sheridan Oman.
Congressman Morris K. 尤德尔
Dedication of Cat Canyon

三十年来， Congressman Morris K. 尤德尔 served as a valued member of the ASDM advisory council and board of trustees. He was the featured — and humorous — speaker at the dedications of both the Small Cat Habitats in 1973 and the Mountain Habitat in 1986.
阿曼达·布莱克/ Merv Larson
Dedication of Cat Canyon

阿曼达·布莱克, ‘Miss Kitty’ on TV’s Gunsmoke, was a strong supporter of ASDM and a member of the board of trustees. She was particularly interested in various types of wild cats and active in efforts to protect large African cat species. . For many years, she maintained a ranch in the Phoenix area focused on cheetahs and other large cats. Needless to say, ASDM’s Cat Canyon was one of ‘Miss Kitty’s’ preferred exhibits!
