The Museum Board of Directors

The NMFSH Board of Directors reflects the broad scope of the museum. There are directors from Alaska, California, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin, as well as Montana. The directors lend a national perspective to the boards deliberations. Board members have backgrounds that represent the Forest Service, forest products industry, as well as environmental interests. The members-at-large are a diverse group with backgrounds in areas such as economic development, museum operations, university administration and political action. This diversity of board membership provides strong leadership to the museum.
