“I’m in love with the Brooklyn Museum and how inclusive, welcoming, and current it has always felt to me,” said Ruth. “It is an honor to serve on the Board of Trustees and support Anne Pasternak’s vision.”

 

In addition to supporting the museum’s educational efforts, Ruth wants to foster access to the museum for Prep for Prep’s students. “I want to support our students’ interest in art,” she said.
