BEAUMONT, Texas — The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) invites community members to attend the 2009 Annual Meeting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 8. AMSET 2008-2009 Board of Trustees President Judy Black and Honorary Trustee Charles Locke will be honored. The meeting will serve to recap the past year’s events and preview upcoming exhibitions and events. A reception will immediately follow. The event is free and open to the public.
Black will be congratulated for another successful year as AMSET board of trustees president during very trying economic times, Under her guidance, the museum became accredited by the American Association of Museums; an accomplishment that would make any museum president and its supporters proud. Black passed the baton off to Linda Foutz, who became president on October 1, 2009.
Locke has been a faithful supporter of the museum since its inception through his annual president’s club membership, exhibition sponsorships and fund-raisers. Locke is always the first person to pick up his 10 Go for the Gold tickets and the first person to sell all of them and turn in his money. Over the years, he has continued to be a wonderful ambassador for AMSET.
Also during the meeting, AMSET Executive Director Lynn Castle will recognize former board of trustees member Paula “Torchy” Salter and introduce new board member W. Frank Newton. Salter served two consecutive terms of three years each. During her tenure, she raised the bar on successful fund-raising for AMSET by chairing numerous fund-raisers including three galas. Salter will continue to serve on the AMSET Advisory Board. Newton is the former dean of the Texas Tech University School of Law, current director of the Beaumont Foundation for America and also serves on the board of the Center for Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art (CASETA). He and his wife, Nancy, are Texas and Mexico fine art collectors.
Also, as at every annual meeting, the museum will recognize its most valuable asset – volunteers.
The public is encouraged to attend this important meeting. Light refreshments will be served. Call (409) 832-3432 for more information.

Through unique collections, exhibitions, public programs and outreach in the visual arts, the mission of the Art Museum of Southeast Texas is to provide education, inspiration and creative vision throughout Southeast Texas.
