In the following year, she became Executive Director of the Tacoma Art Museum. In 2017, Stebich was named the Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, succeeding Elizabeth Broun.[5] A year later, Stebich was selected as co-chair of the museum's American Women's History Initiative, along with Provost John Davis.[6]
