5 <br />installation of an exhibit on newly acquired collection of furniture manufacturing tools and our <br />historical furniture. One of the grants was from the Institute of Museum and Library <br />Services. We were awarded the largest level grant of $150,000, <br />Throughout my career I have had to diplomatically deal with a large variety of persons. As <br />Curator of Education at the Mint Museum of History, I recruited and trained 125 individuals as <br />docents in six years. At the end of that time, 80 were active in the program. Ten years later, 10 <br />from the original class I trained were still active. Since then I have served as the director of four <br />separate institutions in different parts of the country. I have worked for both private boards, <br />and cities with an advising board. As I have been involved in various building projects, I have <br />had to be articulate and precise, getting the message of the projects across to various <br />constituents. I have worked with city, county and state leaders, as well as community and <br />business leaders. As mentioned above I have worked closely with fundraising counsel, boards <br />and architects on the design of these projects. I am confident that I can work with the citizens <br />and leaders of Orange County and the involved organizations to successfully plan for the new <br />Heritage Center. <br />I am attaching my resume to this document. Please let me know what other information I <br />might provide to you. I look forward to discussing this exciting project with you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Barbara E. Taylor <br />
