New members join museum board

Cornwall — Mathew Salino of Central Valley and David N. Redden of Cornwall-on-Hudson and New York City have joined the Board of Trustees of the Museum of the Hudson Highlands. Salino heads RBC Capital Markets’ qualified municipal trading department. He was previously with the investment banking firm of Liss, Tenner & Goldberg for 23 years, where he developed and built the bank’s qualified trading department. He is now considered a leading expert in the country on bank qualified bonds. Salino is an aficionado of the outdoors, an avid hunter, fisherman and hiker. He and his wife Amy first discovered the museum when they brought their then two-year-old daughter, Madeline, to what she instantly christened “The Owl Museum.” Salino will bring his financial expertise and love of the outdoors to the service of the museum. Redden is vice chairman of Sotheby’s in New York, where, as auctioneer or expert in charge, he has presided over some of the most famous sales in Sotheby’s history. These include the jewels of the Duchess of Windsor and the estate of Andy Warhol, both in 1987, the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1996, and the 1998 sale of property from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Redden also brings to the museum experience with not-for-profit organizations in the Hudson Valley. Redden joins the museum board as chairman. He, his wife Jeannette, and his children, Stephen and Clare, have been involved with the museum since 1985 when they moved to the area.
