Board of Directors

The Mason County Historical Society is governed by a volunteer board of directors — local community leaders who share a passion for preserving Mason County's heritage.

The MCHS Board of Directors is composed of 9 elected volunteers who provide strategic oversight, financial stewardship, and community leadership. The board meets monthly and is committed to the long-term sustainability of our mission.
