People news: The Everson hires deputy director and finance director

Neuner brings more than 25 years of management experience to her new role as deputy director, which is a new position at the Everson. She has spent the last 18 years serving as director of special events and communications at Manlius Pebble Hill High School. In her Everson job, Neuner’s areas of oversight will include operations, visitor experience, external engagement, and other strategic initiatives.

Liberati comes to the Everson from Friends of Rosamond Gifford Zoo, where she also served as director of finance. She takes over responsibilities from Kevin Montgomery, who is retiring after 12 years at the Everson. With more than 19 years of experience in accounting and management roles for not-for-profit organizations, Liberati will help provide financial planning, governance, and guidance to the Everson.

 “Both of these key additions coincide with a moment when the Everson has its foot on the gas pedal and is heading toward some major improvements and changes. From the upcoming launch of a new website and rebranding effort to a projected fall opening of a new in-house café, there’s never been a better time for two such qualified individuals to join our outstanding team,” Elizabeth Dunbar, director of the Everson Museum of Art, said in a release.
