Lilach Mazor Power named new board member at ADA
Bryan Solomon “Sol” Davis, Ph.D., has been the executive director of the Jewish History Museum and Holocaust History Center in downtown Tucson for the past five years. He oversaw the expansion of the Holocaust History Center, which first opened in 2013 as a one-room exhibit focusing on the lives of the more than 200 survivors who resided in Southern Arizona. He previously served as director of the Jewish Community Relations Council and as the director of Holocaust education and youth education coordinator at the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona. As of Jan. 1, 2021, Sol will become the executive director of the Jewish Museum of Maryland in Baltimore. “I’m honored to be selected for this position and excited by the possibilities as a way to bring people together,” Sol told JMORE Baltimore Jewish Living. “My overall museum vision is activating historic spaces, which hold so much power and possibility. … I believe in participatory programs. I view visitors not as audiences but part of the museum community.” Upon Sol’s departure, Gugulethu Moyo will become the Jewish History Museum and Holocaust History Center’s new executive director. She currently serves as the director of operations for the museum and has over a decade of managerial and board experience in nonprofits and corporations. She started her career as a lawyer in the pensions industry and was the founding executive director of the Media Legal Defence Initiative, a London-based organization that defends press freedom by delivering legal aid to persecuted journalists around the world. jewishhistorymuseum.org
