Welcome to the New Philanthropy Staff

By Erika Stenson

Head of Marketing, Sales and Business Development The advancement team at the Royal BC Museum has been considering how to serve you better. With the pressures of COVID-19 affecting all of our lives and impacting the museum and archives’ ability to welcome you in person, we’ve made a lot of adjustments in order to continue to share British Columbia’s histories with our communities.

With that in mind, we have a couple of new faces to introduce you to.

Randy Gelling, Philanthropy Manager Randy joined the museum in September and has jumped right in to learn about what we do and how we can serve you better. He has a passion for culture and believes that museum supporters’ needs come first. With a background in communications and fundraising, he’ll be the first to tell you his job is to help match your charitable interest and passions to the needs of the museum and archives. Randy joins us from the Banff Centre, where he supported donors as development officer.
