Please Touch Museum CEO Kolb to Announce Retirement




by KYW's Karin Phillips

The Please Touch Museum will announce on Tuesday that its president and CEO Nancy Kolb is retiring after 21 years on the job.

"It's been the best job anybody ever had."

When Nancy Kolb (at left in photo above) officially retires November 20th, she will have been on the job exactly 21 years.

"We have more than 650,000 visitors since the 18th of October last year. People who come here write us love letters about what a wonderful time they've had. So it's a really good time for me to leave. I've always wanted to go out on a high."

New President and current executive director Laura Foster (right in photo) has been with the Museum 16 years and plans to develop more relationships with the community.

"The looks on the faces of the children. They're so happy that when they're leaving, we see a lot of crying and screaming because they don't want to leave. We are really making a contribution to the lives of children and families."
