The Alaska Historical Society welcomes nominations of individuals for the Board of Directors elections.  The Society is  governed by a fifteen-member Board.   Directors are elected by the membership to three-year terms and are limited to two consecutive terms.  The terms are staggered with five terms expiring each year.  

Directors generally meet six times a year.  They meet "face-to-face" at the Society's annual meeting and one time during the winter, and by teleconference the remainder of the year.   The directors set policies and oversee operations of the organization.  The directors annually elect the Society's officers.  Each director usually heads one of the Society's committees such as membership, publications, newsletter, advocacy, annual meeting program, and awards.   

Please consider serving on the Board of Directors.  Candidates should be current members of the Society.  If you are interested or if you have a recommendation of an individual, please contact by Friday, August 6, 2010:
