New director coming to MAC

Forrest B. Rodgers has been appointed the new executive director of the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.

Rodgers was most recently the director of the Central Washington University Foundation in Ellensburg.

From 2001 to 2007, he was the president and CEO of the privately funded High Desert Museum in Bend, Ore., which reversed a decline in paid attendance.

He will take over Aug. 1 from Ron Rector, who is retiring.
