Eighteen years ago the Nevada Museum of Art’s most illustrious volunteer, Helga Miller, launched the Museum Store as we know it. The Store has been a success thanks to Helga’s careful management and retailer’s eye for unique and creative merchandise. As a former trustee and longstanding volunteer, Helga’s dedication and countless hours have contributed enormously to the Museum’s bottom line.

As the Museum’s vision for the future emerges, all programs, including the Store, are adjusting to a new sense of purpose and visual brand. Helga has agreed that now is a good time to hand the reigns to a new store manager who might have the kind of success going forward that she has had in the past. I know for all of us it is hard to imagine someone other than Helga managing The Store.
In the meantime, in recognition of her many contributions to the Nevada Museum of Art, the Museum is giving Helga a lifetime membership to the Sierra Circle with all of its privileges. Please join me in thanking our very dear friend for a job done extremely well and know that she will remain an important part of the Museum family.
