LIndy J. Hoyer
Dear Friends of Omaha Children’s Museum:
As of September 30, 2021, I am officially retiring as the Executive Director of Omaha Children’s Museum.
It has been my privilege to be a part of this organization for 27 years, including leading it for the past 19 years. I have been considering my retirement for over a year, but delayed this decision until I was able to steer the museum through the pandemic and back to operational strength. Now that it is on sound financial footing, led by an experienced and capable team, I am comfortable leaving and setting the next stage of growth and excitement for Omaha Children's Museum.
I have poured my heart and soul into Omaha Children’s Museum to grow it into one of the top destinations and museums in the State of Nebraska, while being an incredible asset for children across the Midwest and the United States. Under my leadership, the museum was renovated, has successfully grown its attendance each year, established permanent and traveling exhibits, and built a significant, fantastic team to support our museum and carry it into its next chapter.
My greatest accomplishment has been building and fulfilling our mission of serving children and families across our state and country. Part of the joy has been seeing children and families walk through our doors daily – with so much spirit and delight – only to walk out our doors with imagination in their eyes and inspiration in their footsteps. It has also been rewarding to follow many children as they get older and grow up, have families of their own, and return to the museum with their young kids to have that experience all over again.
Thank you for your commitment and continued support of Omaha Children’s Museum. I appreciate you allowing me to be a part of this incredible journey. We could not have done it without you and your generosity.
I know Omaha Children’s Museum will be in good hands for its next chapter, and know that I will be cheering for the museum’s continued success.
With gratitude,
Lindy
