The Board of Trustees of the Museum of Jewish Heritage announced Bruce C. Ratner as the chairman-elect, a new position created to facilitate an orderly succession of the leadership of the board. Ratner will work closely with Robert M. Morgenthau, chairman of the board, in a transitional leadership capacity.
Following the transition period, the board will create a chairman emeritus position that will recognize Morgenthau’s lasting impact on the museum.
