NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Andrea Lee Harris has been named Enthusiast Relations Manager for the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum located in Pomona, Calif. With more than 25 years of non-profit museum management experience, Harris is excited to join museum director Larry Fisher and staff in raising awareness and encouraging support for the museum. 

“I believe in the museum and feel honored to help it grow. I also want to see Wally Parks’ vision continue to flourish through the exceptional public programming, exhibitions, educational outreach efforts and collaborations presented at the museum,” stated Harris. “I grew up around hotrods, restoring cars and enjoying every moment driving. I have a great love for automobiles and the freedom they encourage. I appreciate seeing the engineering, technology, design and cultural significance preserved and presented. The automobiles featured in the Wally Parks Museum are epic works of art on wheels that inspire guests of all ages.” 

Harris looks forward to connecting guests, automotive enthusiasts, friends, racers, collectors, corporate sponsors and students to the museum while fostering momentum and patronage. “I encourage everyone to support the museum by becoming a contributing member and by attending our events and exhibitions.” 

 “We’re excited to welcome Andrea to NHRA,” said Fisher. “She brings extensive cultivation and management experience to the Wally Parks Museum. In addition to fund-development, Andrea has expertise in public relations, exhibition coordination, graphic design, publishing, educational outreach and events coordination. Combining these skills with her passion for the continued growth and success of the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum will make her a valuable member of the NHRA team.”

Harris will be taking on the role immediately and will be based in Pomona at the museum on a full-time basis reporting to Fisher. She holds a master’s degree in studio art from CSU Fullerton.
