Episode Synopsis "Building a Museum from the Ground Up National September 11 Memorial and Museum"

How would you go about building a new museum in a politically heated moment and aimed at telling the story of one of the nation's greatest tragedies? How would you rally staff and board to make the endeavor a reality? Join me as I talk with Alice Greenwald, CEO and President of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, about what it took to imagine and realize the museum - located in the footprints of the original World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, seven stories below grade. From the importance of working with communities to a vision of creating experiences through storytelling, as well as ongoing adaptations during the pandemic, we explore how Greenwald's leadership style has evolved and lessons she's learned along the way .
