The Best Job in the City
Trish Wellenbach and the Revamped Please Touch Museum
Abstract
After Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum, a premier children’s museum focused on learning through play, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2015 and its CEO, Lynn McMaster announced that she was stepping down, it became quite clear to the board of directors that new leadership and a new plan was necessary. Familiar with her work from a previous strategic planning and consulting stint, the museum’s search committee approached Trish Wellenbach, a well- known consultant and leader with prior experience working with distressed organizations.
