Just for You Creating a Legacy James D. Pagliaro, Esq. For a complete list of upcoming member programs, please visit philamuseum.org/membership or see the winter What s On guide. Jim Pagliaro has made a broad and significant impact on the Museum from being a Weekend Guide since 2003, to being a past co-chair of the Museum s Corporate Executive Board and serving two years as an ex officio member of our Board of Trustees. He s also a member of the Major Gifts Committee and the European Decorative Arts Committee. As a member of the Chairman s Council, he continues to support the Museum philanthropically, and in 2016 he also joined the Fiske Kimball Society by adding a bequest provision to his estate plan. For me, Pagliaro said, the Philadelphia Museum of Art deserves support not only as a repository for humanity s creativity and artistic achievement, but more importantly as the center for learning about and enjoying the arts in all their splendor in the heart of our historic city.
