The San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum Board of Directors recently welcomed two new members to its ranks and elected a new executive team.
Dr. Vik Tiku and Kelli Fite have been elected to three-year terms. Newly elected officers include Lisa Rizzo (president), Courtney Anderson (vice president), Craig Filipponi (treasurer), Lindsay Waylett (secretary). Returning directors include Lindsey Haring (exhibits chair), Annie Braff (event chair), Linda Minton, Dawn Hinchman and Byron McFarland.
Dr. Vik Tiku, owner and dentist at SLO Pediatric Dental, grew up in Camarillo, attended Dartmouth College, and earned his dental degree at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco.
Kelli Fite serves as Senior Vice President, Chief Operations Officer for SESLOC Federal Credit Union. She grew her career in Southern California before returning to her hometown of Arroyo Grande to raise her son.
During 2017, the Old SLO Western Town exhibit was unveiled, and the Central Coast Pediatrics-sponsored medical office exhibit was completely renovated and renamed SLO Town Pediatrics.
