The Massachusetts History Alliance is seeking new members for its Board of Directors. MHA is a young organization that works hard to create a viable mutual support and advocacy network for the entire public history field in Massachusetts. These are interesting times — this is your opportunity to help build a vital resource from the ground up.
MHA’s members are history-based organizations and institutions in the Commonwealth, includinghistorical societies, historic houses, regional historic networks, library history rooms, museums, archives and research libraries, historic sites, preservation groups, and educational institutions, as well as historical commissions and other town, state, and federal history-focused government units.
We are looking for members of any of those organizations to step into a leadership role to support regional networks and develop public history advocacy at the state level as well as help organize and run the new Mass History Commons, the annual Mass History Conference.
Qualifications for board membership:
Membership in at least one of the member organizations ( join now — membership is free!)
Enthusiasm for supporting and advocating for the field of public history in MA
Willingness to spend a few hours a month on one of the MHA projects.
Board terms are three years. Board and Committee meetings are held via Zoom. Our bylaws call for the board to have nineteen members from across the entire state, and from a diversity of kinds of history organizations, as well as backgrounds.
