EVENTS | 2011 SYMPOSIUM | SPEAKERS
Cathy Molloy has been the Director of Markham Museum since August 2008. Armed with graduate work in Near Eastern archaeology, Cathy started her work career at the head office of Peoples Jewellers and was quickly promoted to a sales auditor while taking several business courses at night school. After a few years at home with young children she was lured into the museum world as a part time interpreter and later full time Curator at the Oshawa Community Museum.
In 1998, she accepted the position of Curator at Markham Museum, eventually being promoted to the position of Coordinator of Visitor Services. In 2005, Cathy accepted the position of Executive Assistant to two Markham Councillors, an experience that proved to be an incredible learning opportunity. The Aurora Historical Society had been trying to transform an old school into an arts centre and in 2006, Cathy accepted the challenge. By 2008, the Church Street School Cultural Centre was completed and Cathy could not resist the offer to return to Markham Museum.
Together with staff, the Friends foundation, stakeholders and the community Markham Museum has been transformed into a dynamic community resource of which Cathy is extremely proud to be a part of.
