The board of directors of The Sailing Museum and National Sailing Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., hired Erika Holshoe as communications and marketing manager.
Holshoe will be responsible for digital and social media outreach, and will coordinate with internal and external stakeholders in maintaining the image and growth of both organizations.
“We’re thrilled to have Erika on board here at The Sailing Museum,” executive director Ashley Householder said in a statement. “She’s extremely creative, and we’ve seen some great things from her already. Growth is our primary goal as the museum matures past its opening last year.”
Holshoe previously was assistant director and curator of the German American Heritage Center & Museum in Davenport, Iowa, and was manager of operations and interpretation at the John Brown House Museum in Providence, R.I.
