Looking for a way to turn your passion for history into service for your community? The Renton History Museum's Board of Trustees is a dynamic group interested in connecting community members through a shared understanding of history. Trustees need not be Renton residents, just enthusiastic about helping a local museum succeed! The Board is the fundraising, public relations, policymaking, and oversight body for the Museum. Trustees serve three-year terms and have the opportunity for leadership and learning in the areas of fundraising, museum management, marketing, outreach, public speaking, and community engagement. The time commitment is 4-6 hours a month, depending on depth of involvement and time of year. The Board seeks to be an inclusive and welcoming group, representative of one of the state's most ethnically and racially diverse cities. We are currently in search of candidates with a legal, education, or business background, but all are welcome!
