MoNA story inaccurate

Dear Mr. Stern,

The January 3rd issue of the LaConner Weekly News featured an article about the Museum of Northwest Art. I am one of the trustees mentioned in the article who resigned.

The reasons given in the article for my resignation were inaccurate. Contrary to what was published last week, my resignation was not respective of the Capital Campaign. My resignation stemmed from concerns with management.

MoNA lies close to my heart. Both my grandmother and my aunt served as trustees for the Museum of Northwest Art. Recently, the museum celebrated its 35th anniversary. My priority for MoNA was, and still is, to see it grow and flourish for the next 35 years and beyond. Any implication that I had priorities other than the success of MoNA, and thus the capital campaign, is simply false.

While my relationship to MoNA has a somewhat historical context, that does not mean I am opposed to progress or change. In fact, I welcome it.

Sincerely,

Meghan Dunlap-Rice
