“Twenty years ago, someone asked me to join AASLH and I have been a member ever since. History is my life, and history organizations are essential for interpreting and preserving our history. I belong to AASLH to support this fundamental belief. Throughout my career, AASLH has been my continual link to the profession and a lifeline to staff, friends, colleagues, and the greater community of history professionals doing the work I do. If there is one relationship to keep, always make it AASLH.”

“AASLH is an essential partner in my career and has helped me develop a network of colleagues that support each other through challenges and celebrate each other’s successes. An early professional development experience at Project Management for History Professionals armed me with vital skills to take on big projects and later in my career. SHA was instrumental in my taking new leaps professionally. AASLH provides fundamental resources to professionals and volunteers from organizations of all sizes and it is AASLH’s commitment to museums and historical societies big and small that inspires me to financially support its programs. AASLH’s commitment to providing scholarships and educational opportunities that make history organizations stronger, more relevant, and crucial community partners is essential now more than ever.”
