The Mark Twain House & Museum embarks on a national search for an Executive Director
Today, the Mark Twain House & Museum (MTH&M) has announced the formation of a Search Committee to select its next Executive Director. The Committee is comprised of seven trustees of the House, including Committee co-chairs Tim Matson and David Jimenez, Board chairman Hans Miller and Board vice-chair Ted Whittemore. The Committee will hire a consulting firm that specializes in non-profit executive searches.
MTH&M is also announcing the selection of Jack Sennott to serve as interim Executive Director for the next six months. Mr. Sennott has deep experience working with, and in, the arts and culture, non-profit, and educational fields. Mr. Sennott has served as Chair of the Board of Hartford Stage, as a trustee of the Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center, and as a Chair of the Simsbury Board of Education.
In addition, Mr. Sennott had a 35-year career as an insurance and finance executive, with a track record of successful business growth, entrepreneurship, job creation, capital allocation and board stewardship. Most recently, he served as Chairman, CEO and President of CapSpecialty Insurance Co., a leading specialty insurance provider, and prior to that position, served as SVP and Chief Financial Officer of Allegheny Corporation.
Mr. Sennott succeeds Michael L. Campbell as Interim Executive Director. Mr. Campbell has served in the role since December 2023. Hans Miller, Chair of the Board of Trustees, said “This is an exciting time for The Mark Twain House as we embark on a search for our next Executive Director. In the meantime, I would like to thank Michael for his exceptional past service as COO and most recently as Interim Executive Director. We also welcome Jack Sennott to the Interim role and are grateful that someone with his background in both business and the arts will be providing vital leadership for the next few months.” The Search Committee expects to name the House’s new Executive Director during the second quarter of 2025.
