WABASH,IN Shelby McLaughlin joined the staff of the Wabash County Historical Museum this week.
McLaughlin, who recently resigned as Wabash Marketplace Inc.’s project manager, will assume the role of associate director at the museum.
She joins a staff of five others who support the operations of the museum and countless volunteers who are committed to preserving local history.
Her role will focus on supporting the museum’s fund raising strategies, community outreach, and operational support, according to Mitch Figert, WCHM executive director.
“As the museum continues to expand our programming and reach in the community it became obvious that we needed someone who could support our operations at a high level,” Figert said. “Shelby brings strong project management skills to our team and I am excited to have her join us.”
McLaughlin is already a familiar face to many of those in the community.
Her husband Kyle, a North Manchester native, is also an active part of the community and barber at Center Court Barber Shop. McLaughlin is currently obtaining her Bachelors in Business Administration from Lincoln Christian University.
“I am thrilled to join the museum’s team and continue to invest in our community,” McLaughlin said. “There are many great assets in Wabash County, including the museum, and I am ready to learn and grow in this new position.”
The museum is located in Historic Downtown Wabash and open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
