Marchand heads air and missile museums

The Arizona Aerospace Foundation, which operates both the Pima Air & Space and Titan Missile museums, announced the promotion of Scott Marchand to executive director.

Marchand has been with the foundation since 2002, most recently as director of collections and restoration.

He oversaw the modernization of the Pima Air & Space Museum’s restoration program and hangar. Also, the foundation says its aircraft collection “has grown exponentially.”

Marchand has a graduate degree in art history/museum and gallery studies and undergraduate degrees in military history and political science. He began his career at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary.

The foundation’s previous executive director Yvonne C. Morris will remain at the helm of the Titan Missile Museum, where she has been director since 2004.

“As an officer in the U.S. Air Force, she was one of the missile combat crew commanders responsible for missile site 571-7, which is now the Titan Missile Museum.”
