With over 30 years of corporate experience as a Senior Financial Services Executive, Andy brings a wealth of leadership expertise to his new role, poised to drive the museum’s growth, innovation, and community impact.
Since retirement, Andy has been an integral part of The Wright Museum’s governance structure, serving on the Board since 2015 and as Treasurer since 2016. His deep understanding of the museum’s mission and operations positions him well to lead as Chairman, building upon the foundation of excellence established by his predecessors.
“I am honored to accept the role of Chairman of the Board at The Wright Museum of World War II,” said Andy Mako.
“My involvement with the museum is a way for me to honor my father who served in the Army Air Force during WWII. He served on the home front, building and inspecting bombers before they were released for combat so the museum’s home front emphasis is particularly important to me”
