Carol Rehtmeyer, President and CEO of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, will be our program speaker on Thursday. Ms. Rehtmeyer was recruited to serve as the Executive Director of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science & History where she remained as its Director until mid April 2016. After a successful bid by the Friends of the Corpus Christi Museum to become its managing organization, she returned to the museum as its President and CEO October 1, 2018 making this the first time in the 63-year history of the museum for it to be run by a not-for- profit.
The Museum’s 40,000 square feet of history and science exhibits are a collection of carefully selected representations that are unique to our culture and our surroundings. The historical collections showcase 500 years of South Texas history. From historic shipwrecks of early explorers to decorative arts from area families, these exhibits give you an up close look at the life and the people of our region.
