Center Director Named
POCMOKE — The Delmarva Discovery Center Board of Directors has announced the appointment of Stacey Weisner of Salisbury as its 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,” said DDC Board Chair Susan B. Pusey.
Weisner 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,” she said. “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-foot 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.”
Weisner invites the public to attend the free Winter Watermen’s Festival on Dec. 13, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
