EXPLORE FALL/WINTER 2022 | 35 Board of Directors: Museum Appoints Two New Members Last summer, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History welcomed two new members to its Board of Directors—Dr. Edward Barksdale and Jamie Lambo. “The Museum is committed to selecting leaders to serve on our Board who believe in our mission and reflect the community we serve,” says Sonia Winner, the Museum’s President & CEO. “We are thrilled to have Dr. Barksdale and Mr. Lambo’s expertise in service of our role as a vital and treasured community asset.” Dr. Barksdale is Surgeon-in-Chief at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital and the Robert J. Izant, Jr. Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. A nationally recognized leader in pediatric surgery, he is well known outside the operating room for extensive community service in child welfare, violence prevention, and the reduction of health disparities. Dr. Barksdale received his undergraduate degree from Yale University, where he was also an NCAA All-American fencer. He earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and trained in general surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. Lambo is Vice President Internal Audit at The Timken Company in Canton. He is an experienced chief audit executive with diverse global experience and proven expertise in the areas of accounting, auditing, information systems, and risk management. Earlier in his career, he held internal audit positions with Diebold Nixdorf and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Lambo is a graduate of John Carroll University. “This is a very exciting time for our Museum,” says Sally Sears, the Museum’s Board Chair. “Through the major transformation of our campus and visitor experience, we are pioneering a new model for natural history museums worldwide—and the insights and guidance of each member of our Board will continue to be critical to our success.” Q: H ow do you spend your time when you’re not at work? A: I enjoy taking hikes around Northeast Ohio with my wife and our dog. We love finding beautiful new places in and around Cleveland. We spend a lot of time at Edgewater Park. We love to be near the water, so we take hikes by the lake or near rivers and waterfalls any chance we get. M ost recently, some of us at the Museum joined a sand-volleyball league. We play together for the fun of it, and it’s been awesome getting to know coworkers outside of work. EXPLORE 3 Dr. Edward Barksdale Jamie Lambo
