Dianna has worked for BRAHM since July of 2014, when the Museum was a mere three years old. She has grown and evolved in her position, as have BRAHM’s exhibitions and collections under her direction. Talk to Dianna and you will quickly find that she is always thinking strategically, and carefully considers the history, current state, and mission of BRAHM’s permanent collection and exhibitions when exploring future projects. And, as most who have visited BRAHM in the past couple of years will agree, the quality of exhibitions and their relevance to local history, contemporary artists, and Southern Appalachian culture is evident.

Sharon has been BRAHM’s Business Manager since November of 2017. While Sharon’s job is primarily to manage the museum’s finances and oversee the front desk, her actual tasks go far beyond these responsibilities. At any time, you could see Sharon checking the HVAC system, meeting with contractors, assisting caterers at BRAHM events, or straightening up the gift shop. This is partly because Sharon is well-versed in many positions, and partly because she is quick to say yes when another staff member needs help in their own area. Sharon can switch hats at any given moment and is readily willing to do so.
