CLAYTON, N.Y. — Frederick (Fritz) Hager, executive director of the Antique Boat Museum (ABM) in the Thousand Islands region, resigned, effective immediately, the museum announced late Friday afternoon.
Hager, who had been executive director since January 2012, will remain with the museum in a consulting role through the end of the year, according to an ABM news release.
The museum’s board of trustees said it differed with Hager over future strategy and decided to seek a new leader.
“Fritz and the board have thoughtful, professional difference of opinions regarding the operational priorities and strategic direction of the ABM. As a result, the board made the decision to seek new leadership and Fritz agreed to step aside as executive director,” Rick W. Tague, chairman of the board of trustees, said in the release.
John C. MacLean, the ABM’s executive director from 2002 through 2010, will serve as interim executive director while the ABM searches for a permanent successor.
The Antique Boat Museum, located in Clayton, says it is home to North America’s largest antique boat collection with more than 300 boats and over 1,000 boating artifacts.
