Denver Science Museum CEO Resigns

“Raylene Decatur, president and chief executive of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, resigned Wednesday after almost nine years of overseeing major and sometimes controversial changes at the 104-year-old institution… More than 30 full-time and part-time employees lost their jobs there in 2002 and 2003 as the museum struggled with the shrinking attendance and a reduction in contributions from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District… Decatur heard harsh criticism from some former employees and volunteers for the layoffs and the less than pure-science exhibits created during her tenure.”
