MOMSR Board of Directors 2012 to 2017

This was the Board of Directors that served from 2012 to 2017 when our Museum was a non-profit. The members worked incredibly hard to create a permanent public non-profit museum in Austin, Texas. What we found was that folks are more interested in the support of well known artists, however, not the technology that made their success possible.
