Lisa Keith was named director of the David Traylor Zoo of Emporia on Friday.
City Manager Matt Zimmerman announced the change in a news release late Friday afternoon. Keith had been interim director since the departure of director Steve Trebilcock nearly a year ago. Trebilcock resigned the position June 18, 2008.
The zoo, in Soden’s Grove at the south end of Commercial Street, is one of the smallest accredited zoos in the United States and is named for the former director who turned it from a small menagerie to a civic treasure.
