Since joining Cheekwood in 2010, President and CEO Jane MacLeod has steadily grown the reach of the nonprofit estate and gardens, with increases in memberships and admissions, historic fundraising and the introduction of major art exhibitions and events. Under her leadership, the Cheekwood mansion underwent extensive refurnishing, and Cheekwood in Bloom, Cheekwood Harvest and Holiday LIGHTS became regular programs at the gardens. Prior to stepping into her current role, MacLeod served in leadership roles at the Nasher Sculpture Garden in Dallas and The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. She is currently a national board member for the American Public Garden Association.
