Leadership

Board of Directors

The Jefferson County Historical Society is managed by dedicated volunteers who share a passion for preserving local history.

The Jefferson County Historical Society is managed by volunteer officers and directors. Directors are elected by the membership at the April member meeting, serve a term of four years, and may succeed themselves. Officers are elected annually by the board of directors at the first director meeting following the April member meeting and serve a one-year term.

Over the years a number of people have been rewarded for their contributions to The Society. In 1959 two women were recognized for their service and were made Emeritus Directors. The Society’s continued success can in part be attributed to outstanding leadership.
