Baltimore Museum of Industry Elects New Board President

Baltimore, Maryland –Stuart FitzGibbon has been elected President of Board of Trustees of the Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI).  FitzGibbon will serve as president for one year.

            Working less than a mile from the BMI for the last 21 years, FitzGibbon is no stranger to the museum.  He has seen the museum from the beginning, and watched it developed through the years.  “The Museum of Industry tells the story of the innovation and leadership which created our standard of living and world status. Industry continues to be the foundation of our country, a fact not always known to Americans. The BMI is able to teach both children and adults this lesson. I have chosen to serve the BMI because this message is of critical importance,” said FitzGibbon.         

            FitzGibbon has worked for Domino Sugar for much of his professional life, beginning as an Assistant Production Manager in 1988 overseeing high-volume warehousing, shipment organization and empty-package procurement.  Today he is the Refinery Manager working to strengthen and promote the importance of manufacturing in the state of Maryland and city of Baltimore.  He manages up to 400 employees and is known for his leadership, creative vision, and accountability to meet goals. 

            FitzGibbon holds a Master of Science in Management from Lesley College, Cambridge, MA and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY. He has been very active supporting education and life enrichment, volunteering with the Cub Scouts, Howard County High Schools, St. Benedictine Foundation, middle school softball and more.  He’s a member of several business groups including: Fort McHenry Association, Baltimore Industrial Group (BIG) and Maryland Business for Responsible Government. 

            Roland H. Woodward, Director of the BMI states: “Stu has supported the BMI and other local organizations for years.  It’s great to have a leader that understands the museum, our mission, and our community.  We are confident Stu’s skills and experience will lead the museum in the right direction.”
