The Sussex-Lisbon Area Historical Society has one high school student on our Board. He was good about early attending, but school activities curbed recent participation. Working on that issue. Also created Junior Membership categories for grade school, middle and high school student at reduced yearly fees and sending email newsletters to them to alleviate costs. Program just getting started. Thinking about sponsoring a History Club for middle school?

The Land O’ Lakes Historical Society currently does not have a student board member. It is an intriguing idea, however, and I would like to know how other historical societies feel about this and how meetings could be arranged fit in with the busy student schedules now prevalent in our schools.Barb Nehring, Land O’ Lakes Historical Society, tradingpostint@gmail.com

Subject: student board member? Hello everyone. I’m looking to communicate with agencies/museums that have a seat on their board of directors that is specifically for a high school/student member. My Board of Trustees is interested in the idea of having a seat for a student so that young people would have more of a buy-in with our organization. Specifically, we are interested in the following: --should we start with a student that is a sophomore, so that they can grow into the position over the next couple of years, or a senior who has more maturity? --what specific roles/tasks/duties does your student board member have? How do they directly contribute to your organization through the board? --how do you select your student board member when you have more than one high school in the area you represent (ie. a county historical society)? --do you open it up to public, private, and homeschool high school students? Again, how do you solicit “candidates” when you have multiple schools? Thank you for any insight you can provide on this subject.
