Ridgefield Entrepreneur Joins The Aldrich's Board of Trustees

From The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum:Cybele Maylone, Executive Director of The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, and Eric G. Diefenbach, Chairman of the Board, are pleased to announce that Ridgefield entrepreneur Amy Pal has been elected to join the Board of Trustees.

Pal has been a dedicated supporter of the Museum for many years. Recently she has organized community fundraisers to benefit the Museum including the March 2018 Hair Ball and the 2017 Whiplash Fashion Show. Pal was nominated as one of the top 25 Ridgefield influencers in 2018 by Ridgefield Magazine for her business savvy, first opening a cycling studio then Whip Salon, and her philanthropic efforts in the community, in particular her work for The Aldrich. Maylone states: “Amy has been an incredible supporter of the Museum for some time and is a force here and Ridgefield and beyond. She is an important member of the community and a passionate museum-goer—we’re thrilled to have her join The Aldrich’s Board!”

“It’s an incredible honor for me to join the Board of The Aldrich. The Aldrich was one of the main reasons I moved my family to Ridgefield in 2010. I thought it was incredible that there was this world class contemporary art museum in this lovely suburban town and living here eight years has reinforced what a huge asset the Museum is to our community. Supporting The Aldrich became one of my goals when I started a business in town and had a platform for fundraising. I want to help contribute to The Aldrich’s success by serving as a link between the Museum and the business community, and by continuing to develop new, exciting, unique events that raise money while introducing the Museum to new audiences,” says Pal. Pal will join the thirteen current Board members including Eric G. Diefenbach, Chairman, Diana Bowes, Vice-Chairman, Linda Dugan, Treasurer/Secretary, Claude K. Amadeo, Michael Joo, Patricia Kemp, Kristina Larson, Neil Marcus, Julie Phillips, Andrew J. Pitts, Georganne Aldrich Heller, Honorary Trustee, Kathleen O'Grady, Chair Emerita, and Martin Sosnoff, Trustee Emeritus. The Museum is incredibly grateful for Pal’s continued support and is looking forward to her contributions as a Board member.
