\"\"Community Leader has relationship with TMA dating back to childhood<\/em><\/p>\n

TOLEDO, Ohio \u2014 The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) will present Jason Daniels with the Key to the Museum during its annual Block Party on Saturday, Sept. 26, honoring his many years of leadership and service to the Toledo community.<\/p>\n

The presentation will take place at 5:15 p.m. The public is welcome to attend and celebrate Daniels’ recognition.<\/p>\n

The Key to the Museum is awarded annually to a community leader who embodies TMA’s core values of community, diversity, innovation and trust.<\/p>\n

A native of Toledo, Daniels grew up in the city’s historic Junction neighborhood, where early visits to the Toledo Museum of Art and Mott Branch Library shaped a lifelong appreciation for cultural institutions and their role in strong communities. A graduate of the University of Toledo, he now lives in Perrysburg with his wife, Kelli, and daughter, Elise.<\/p>\n

Daniels is President and CEO of JAYRAMON, a consulting firm he leads alongside Kelli, and spent more than a decade in executive leadership with United Way in Toledo and Cleveland. Today he advises nonprofit, civic, cultural, higher education, public, and philanthropic organizations. He has a longstanding relationship with TMA as a consultant supporting the museum’s work around belonging, organizational culture, and engagement, and is a passionate advocate for the institution and admirer of Toledo’s glass art legacy.<\/p>\n

“It is truly an honor to present the Key to the Museum to Jason Daniels,” said Jennifer McCary, Chief Culture and Brand Experience Officer at the Toledo Museum of Art. “His connection to this institution goes back to childhood, and for years he has poured that same care into helping us build a stronger culture of belonging. Jason’s leadership \u2014 authentic, principled, and community-centered \u2014 is exactly what this honor is meant to celebrate.”<\/p>\n

Block Party runs from 3 to 8:30 p.m. on the museum’s 37-acre campus, with artmaking activities, food trucks, and family-friendly entertainment throughout. Admission and parking are free.<\/p>\n
