Lizabeth and Richard Zlatkus: Inspiring Future Scientists

The work of the Science Center would not be possible without the support of people like Lizabeth and Richard Zlatkus. Liz has served on our Board of Trustees since 2011. Both Rich and Liz love attending Science Center events like talks about artificial intelligence, and the annual Gala: “We both continue to be impressed with how expansive and impactful the Science Center is.” Being involved here is important to Liz and Rich, who are strong believers in the importance of science and education. As parents themselves, they appreciate how the Science Center inspires young adults. “Imagine if every child who visits learns something that excites them—what a difference that can make in their lives. It could be the catalyst for many future scientists!”
