Secino will be handling marketing and engagement and Vlass will manage day-to-day operations.
Susan Edwards, executive director,
shares, "This is the ideal combination. Both excel in their respective areas of expertise, providing the museum with a tremendous resource."
A skilled communications professional with 35 year’s experience in marketing, media and public relations, Secino brings a host of skills to the table, including excellent regional media connections
; strong creative talents; social media savvy, execution and management; as well as an extensive background in large-scale event planning. She is a graduate of Bridgewater State University and resides in Newburyport with her husband Tom and their furry, four-legged son, Scamps.
Vlass, a West Newbury native who lives for local history and historic preservation, holds a BA in Archaeology from Fort Lewis College and a MA in Public History from UMass, Boston. She splits her time professionally between the Museum of Old Newbury and Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm, where you can find her cuddling the animals or giving tours. When she is not working at a museum, she is probably kayaking, hiking, or in a garden.
