      <title>Joel Bartsch Brings Growth to HMNS in Texas by Joel Bartsch</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/JoelBartsch/about</link>
      <description>Native Texan Joel A. Bartsch has been working in the museum sector for more than four decades. During that time, he has taken on several senior management positions, along with front-line practical roles. This variety has given him a broad knowledge base relating to daily museum operations and fundraising efforts. His background informs Joel Bartsch’s current work as president and CEO of the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS).

As the CEO of HMNS, Mr. Bartsch has steadily grown and expanded the institution. During his first year in this position, he restructured the entire organization and returned it to profitability. Since then, he has more than doubled annual earned income at the museum and expanded its facilities by over 200,000 square feet. This expansion included public exhibition space and educational support, along with an immersive energy science education center.

In addition, Joel A. Bartsch has raised upwards of $300 million from individuals, corporations, and foundations, and coordinated the creation of new, immersive exhibits for visitors. He also travels around the world forming professional relationships with international museums. Over the years, he has visited museums in such areas as South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Russia.
