ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL OF PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh is a city with a long tradition of innovation. Heinz History Center President and CEO, Andy Masich, will take us on a fun and fast-paced journey through time while looking at innovators, famous and forgotten, and their work that changed our world in big ways and small.

Andy Masich is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Senator John Heinz History Center, the largest history museum in Pennsylvania, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, and accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

Since 1998, he has provided leadership for Pittsburgh’s nationally acclaimed 370,000 square-foot History Center and museum system, which includes the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum; Detre Library & Archives; Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village, the oldest site of human habitation in North America, located in Avella, Pa.; the Fort Pitt Museum; and the nine-story Museum Conservation Center adjoining the History Center.

Under Andy’s leadership, the History Center has been recognized for its award-winning exhibitions and innovative educational programs. He has forged strategic partnerships with the Smithsonian Institution, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Allegheny Conference for Community Development, Boy Scouts of America, VisitPITTSBURGH, American Association for State and Local History, and 125 History Center affiliate museums in Western Pennsylvania.
