Dr. Betty Sue Flowers, Director of the Lyndon Baines
Johnson Library and Museum since 2002, is leaving
that post effective May 22, 2009.
"After seven wonderful years at the LBJ Library and
Museum, I have decided to move on to other
adventures and opportunities," Dr. Flowers said.
"It's been such an honor and pleasure to serve as the
director of this flagship presidential library, and I'm
sure I would have been happy to continue serving into
the indefinite future. But it's always been my
philosophy that it's good for an institution to adapt to
new leadership-and for a leader to face new
challenges."
Initiatives launched during Dr. Flowers' tenure at the
Library include the Presidential Timeline, a
web-based resource that opens to
the public the rich archives of historical documents
and artifacts from the nation's presidential libraries;
the continued release of recorded phone
conversations from the
Johnson administration; activities commemorating
President Johnson's 100th birthday; the tribute to Lady
Bird Johnson; and repair of the LBJ Plaza at the
Library and Museum.
