DANIEL BRODSKY APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF METROPOLITAN MUSEUM

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s board elected sixty-one year old Daniel Brodsky as chairman on Tuesday. Brodsky has been a Met trustee since 2001 as well as a trustee for the New York City Ballet and New York University. Kate Taylor of the New York Times quotes the Met’s director, Thomas Campbell, describing Brodsky as a person who is a “good listener, someone who really takes the time to consider everybody’s opinions, but at the same time has a clear sense of purpose and direction.” Brodsky will be replacing James R. Houghton, who has acted as chairman for the past thirteen years.
