The Guam Museum Foundation is entering a new chapter, announcing new leadership both at the top and across its board.

The foundation has named Joann Gogo-Semania as its new executive director, bringing years of experience in cultural preservation, community engagement, and public service.

Officials say her leadership will help strengthen the museum’s role in preserving and sharing the heritage of the CHamoru people and the wider Micronesian region.

Alongside the appointment, the foundation also introduced its 2026 Board of Directors, led by Chairman David Tydingco, with Francis Guerrero as Vice Chairman and Delisa Kloppenburg as Treasurer.

Board members include community leaders from engineering, education, medicine, and law, all aimed at supporting the foundation’s mission.

Foundation leaders say they look forward to expanding programs, building stronger partnerships, and enhancing the visitor experience under this new team.
