Directors.
Read’s association
with the children’s
museum dates back to
his childhood, where he
spent countless hours
exploring its exhibits. His
affinity for the museum
led him to work at the
front desk before pursuing
higher education at the
University of Central
Florida, where he further
honed his skills in finance
and analysis.
“We are thrilled to
welcome Jason Read to
our Board of Directors,”
said Tammy Calabria, executive director of The
Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast. “His deep-
rooted connection to our institution, coupled with his
professional expertise, makes him an invaluable addition
to our leadership team.”
In his role as a senior financial analyst at CTDI, Jason
brings a wealth of experience in financial management
and strategic planning. His passion for community
engagement and dedication to educational initiatives
align perfectly with the museum’s mission of fostering
learning and exploration for children in the Treasure
Coast area.
“I am honored to join the Board of Directors at The
Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast,” said Read.
“Having grown up visiting the museum, I understand
the profound impact it has on shaping young minds. I am
excited to contribute to its continued growth and success.”
As a member of the Board of Directors, Read will
play a pivotal role in guiding the museum’s strategic
direction, ensuring its long-term sustainability, and
expanding its reach within the community.
Please join us in welcoming Read to The Children’s
Museum of the Treasure Coast family. Together, we look
forward to creating memorable experiences and inspiring
the next generation of learners.
