INNOVATING A GREENER FUTURE - JENNIFER ROMINIECKI
Selby Gardens is on track to be a model in sustainability while safeguarding the world’s best collection of orchids and bromeliads, preserving Selby Gardens’ history, and welcoming guests with proper amenities.
Jennifer O. Rominiecki began her tenure as President and Chief Executive Officer of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in February 2015. Since she arrived, she has overseen the re-positioning of the institution as a “Living Museum” and enacted this new operating model, yielding a 47% increase in admissions, a 60% increase in membership, and a 59% increase in overall earned revenues in just three years. Rominiecki has also overseen the creation and execution of a new five-year Strategic Plan for Selby Gardens, as well as the development of a new Master Site Plan.
She possesses twenty years of experience at major New York City cultural institutions. Rominiecki served The New York Botanical Garden for 15 years in increasing roles of responsibility. As the Garden’s Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Special Assistant to the President, she was involved in many aspects of the organization’s management, including oversight of the Garden’s seven-year campaign to raise $479 million in capital, operating, and endowment support.
Earlier in her career, Rominiecki held key positions at The Metropolitan Opera and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Art History and English from Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with Honors in Art History. Rominiecki also completed the Women’s Leadership Forum at Harvard Business School in June 2017 and is a member of Leadership Florida Cornerstone Class XXXVI. Currently, Rominiecki serves on the Boards of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce and the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Sarasota County, and is also Chair of the Board of the Science and Environment Council of Southwest Florida. In 2017, she was honored with the AJC Civic Achievement Award and the Leadership Award for Arts Management from the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Sarasota County. She has also received the SRQ Magazine’s Women in Business “Hear Me Roar” Leadership Award in 2016. Rominiecki is joined in Sarasota by her husband, Robert, and their two boys.
