Departure of Association Manager - Robin Bauer Kilgo | ARCS Special Update

April 16, 2026 | ARCS News

Message from the President

Hello everyone,

Sometimes there are people that work at organizations for so long, and do it so well, that it's hard to imagine a time when they were not part of the heart and soul of the organization.  For ARCS that person is Robin Bauer Kilgo who has been ARCS' Association Manager for 12 years.  There is scarcely a time in ARCS' history that Robin hasn't been around, and I know that many of us at ARCS have adopted a "just ask Robin" mantra over the years whenever we really just need to get something done.

Unfortunately (for ARCS), Robin has accepted a new position in a museum-adjacent field, and will be leaving ARCS.  Her last day as ARCS' association manager will be this Friday, April 17th.  We will all miss her and her expertise dearly, but we wish her the absolute best as she moves forward in her career!

As we work to transition her position, please allow for some delay time in processing and communication.  We're all volunteers here, but we're doing our best as we work to find a suitable replacement for Robin's endless talents.

Chris Helms
President, ARCS
