Elizabeth Hosier, as the Center's inaugural Director of Programs, is responsible for designing and curating educational programs, workshops, lectures, and events in alignment with the Center’s mission of promoting democracy and human rights through Jackson's life and principles. This includes identifying target audiences, tailoring programs to meet their needs, overseeing event logistics, and monitoring performance.

A native of Panama, New York, Elizabeth graduated from Canisius College with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Adolescent Education and earned a Master of Science in Adolescent Literacy at St. Bonaventure University.

She is the former Director of Visitor Experience at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum near Pittsburgh and saw the organization through a period of change, moving to a new 21,000 square foot space full of new exhibits and programming. Her professional career started at the historic educational institutions of Mount Vernon and the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison’s home at Montpelier in northern Virginia.

We are always interested in hearing your ideas for programs. Reach Elizabeth at ehosier@roberthjackson.org or (716) 483-6646.
