JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (February 19, 2026) — The Museum of Science & History today announced that it has appointed two Jacksonville executives to pivotal leadership roles on its Board of Trustees. The appointments reinforce the Museum’s momentum as it advances the capital campaign and the development of its new state-of-the-art campus on the Northbank of the St. Johns River. 

Brian Wolfburg, president and CEO of VyStar Credit Union, who has served on the Museum’s Board of Trustees since 2020 and was integral in VyStar’s Leadership Gift to kick off the capital campaign, has been named co-chair of the capital campaign. He joins Jill Davis in guiding the Museum’s continued fundraising success and strategy, which remains on track. Nate Marty, CEO of Auld & White Constructors and a Museum trustee since 2024, will serve as oversight committee chair, providing governance and construction leadership as the project moves forward.

Their appointments come at a time of significant progress for the project, which has already secured nearly $100 million in philanthropic support, placing it among the largest cultural capital campaigns in Jacksonville’s history.

“It has been a privilege to work alongside Jill Davis and our many generous donors, whose belief in this project has helped make something truly extraordinary possible,” said Wolfburg. “Jill has been an exceptional board chair and campaign leader and I’m honored to step into the role of co-chair alongside her. Together, we’re building more than a museum, we’re creating a world-class destination that brings people together, fuels learning, and leaves a lasting impact on Jacksonville for generations to come.”

As capital campaign co-chair, Wolfburg will work in partnership with Davis as she continues to step into her role as board chair, ensuring continuity and alignment across campaign priorities. Marty succeeds Christian Harden, who remains on the Board of Trustees, as oversight committee chair. In addition to project governance, Marty will also leverage his extensive architecture, engineering and construction experience to lead board oversight of the Museum’s build. 

“I’m excited to help bring this iconic museum to Jacksonville and to apply my construction experience and expertise to a cultural project that will inspire generations,” said Marty. 

Wolfburg and Marty’s appointments come as the Museum of Science & History continues to expand its Board of Trustees. The Museum recently added five trustees, which includes Lauren Baker, community volunteer; Annie Erstling, chief transformation officer at Mosai; Cleveland Ferguson III, senior vice president and chief administrative officer of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority; David Jeans, partner at RezLegal; and finance executive Ray Ingrassia.

“The support behind the Museum’s capital campaign has never been stronger,” said the Board of Trustees in a joint statement. “Brian and Nate bring the strategic insight, community leadership, and disciplined execution this project requires. Their appointments reflect our unified commitment to delivering a world-class museum to Jacksonville.”
The Museum’s Board of Trustees now includes 27 members representing leading organizations across Jacksonville such as FIS, CSX, PNC, KPMG, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. A full list of trustees may be found at themosh.org.
