At its June meeting, the board of directors of the Liberty Bell Museum named Sara Brace, Museum Manager, as its first Executive Director.

"Sara is the first to hold this title and it is well-deserved," said Mike Welsh of A.C. Thompson Insurance, board president. "She excels in creating exhibits and programs, managing staff and volunteers, working with the board, fund development, and especially strengthening the educational programming of the museum."

Brace is certified in elementary education and received a master of education degree from DeSales University where she majored in K-6 Academic Standards. She received a bachelor's degree from the University of Pittsburgh.

Sara and her husband, Geoff Brace, live in center city Allentown with their son, Isaac.
