The Norfolk Historical Society (NHS) is currently seeking dynamic, forward-looking, community-minded individuals to serve on its Board of Directors. The NHS mandate is, and has been for 120 years, to advocate for and work towards the preservation and promotion of Norfolk County’s unique history and heritage, not only for current residents, but also for generations to come.
Our Board meets every two months, and members are expected to be active participants in our activities and projects.
If you believe that you can help us in carrying out our mandate and can bring unique skills to our organization, or if you have any questions about us, please email info@norfolkhistoricalsociety.ca and tell us why you would like to be part of this important work.
