The Edmonton and District Historical Society (EDHS) is seeking nominations for Board members.
The Society is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization, with charitable status.

Board terms are two (2) years, to a maximum of eight (8) years service. The Board is made up of 11 members, including an executive – President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer – a Past President and six (6) Directors. The Board is operational in nature, with members taking on committee work ranging from event planning to budget development and grant writing to governance and publications.
