Organization of the Gilboa Historical Society

Who We Are, How We’re Organized

Who’s in charge

Active committees will direct you to committee heads some situations, or people who have jumped in areas where they have special expertise or interest. Please keep this list handy so that you can call upon the “right” people and situations like these:

  • if you want to become involved in a particular area within society; or
  • if you have a suggestion for a display, article, signage, or we have doing business; or
  • if someone wants to give you (as a member of the society around an artifact, story, or other real or fancy asset.
  • Please don’t commit the society, but feel free to express interest and forward these opportunities to the correct people from this list. They should follow-up directly, and also let you know that they have done this and will keep you in touch with the results.

If you cannot find just the right person within the society, please feel free to contact any member of the board or Ellen Thorn.
