MARCELLUS -- Baltimore Woods Nature Center has announced the appointment of Mary Kate Hartmann as its new executive director. Hartmann will officially begin her new role on May 6.

The center's board of directors began their earch for a new leader in 2012 when the current executive director, Patty Weisse, announced her retirement after 14 years on the job. Hartmann’s appointment was approved by the board March 26.

Hartmann, who said she was "Syracuse born and bred," is a 2003 graduate of LeMoyne College with a degree in English and concentration in communications.

Since graduating from college, she said she has dedicated her career to working with non-profit organizations across Central New York, and for a short time in Texas. She has held positions with the Multiple Sclerosis Society, American Heart Association and the United Way of Central New York.

She is currently development director at the Landmark Theater.

"I am thrilled to be joining a thriving organization that plays such a key role in providing hands-on/minds-on science education for children, both on-site in Marcellus and through the growing Nature in the City program in the Syracuse public schools," she said.
