Surrounded by friends and colleagues inside a University Place Conference Center & Hotel Executive Boardroom, Ann Rein was asked how it feels to be turning 80...."exciting!" She then adds that her goal for the next five years was to..."outlive my eyes and teeth!". The woman, known throughout Indianapolis for her work in marketing, communications and public relations received an early birthday gift and cake the day before she celebrates her benchmark.
Winifred Ann Rein, born on July 21, 1930, served for over 35 years in the public relations field before joining the University Place team. For the past 20 years, she has held the positions of Public Relations Director and Executive Director of the National Art Museum of Sport. Her involvement with museums goes back to her years on the staff of the Indianapolis News where she covered the "Museum Beat". In addition to a degree in journalism from Butler University, she also studied Art in St. Louis. Her special interest in sport art is in the stories it tells..."Every picture, every piece of sculpture in the National Art Museum of Sport has a story behind it." For those who know and have the good fortune to work with Ann, it is apparent that this birthday is just a number and that we can expect continued excellence in all her endeavors.
