Meet the MALHM Board and Staff

The Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Traditionally, the group has aimed to include representatives from all corners of the state and involve both volunteers and paid staff from city and county historical societies and other specialized history groups.  Board members may serve up to three two-year terms and are voted on by the membership at the Annual Meeting and Conference.
