Faller To Manage Harvannah Museum

Former Harvannah lieutenant governor will oversee state's largest museum

HARLYNE, HVN--Former Lieutenant Governor Robert Faller Jr. (CNS) will become the Chief Trustee at The Islands Museum of Culture and History, effective May 1st, the museum said in a written statement.

Located in Harlyne, the museum is the state's largest, with over 200,000 square feet of exhibit space and more than twenty major exhibits. Visitation records show over 80,000 people visit the museum annually.

Mr. Faller will be taking over at the museum after its former Chief Trustee, Dr. Richard Pope, resigned in March to take a position in Mavocke with the Menuhaeo administration. Faller was one of three finalists, the other two from out of state, according to a museum spokesperson.

Faller previously served as Harvannah's lieutenant governor until December 2008, when he was defeated by Mia Jung Xhi, a lawyer from Harlyne, by a vote of 53.87% to 46.13%, respectively. Xhi is the first Chinese-Grassadellan to be elected to a state-wide executive position, and is the youngest person and first woman to hold Harvannah's lieutenant governorship.

Mr. Faller's annual salary is expected to be around $180,000 a year, according to financial reports. His job with the museum will be the first he has had since his electoral defeat last December.
