Dear Members and Friends of the Sunnyvale Historical Society,

There will be several vacancies on the Board of Directors for the SHSMA this summer, and we are looking for enthusiastic candidates to fill those positions.

At the Vision Workshop in late January, we produced a list of priorities for the society to pursue in order to move the organization forward in the next ten years. The areas we want to concentrate our effort on are

  • Marketing (put the Heritage Park Museum on the map, develop a master plan for increasing visibility, increase number of visitors, plan events to draw interest)
  • Volunteers (increase our volunteer body; create comprehensive training)
  • Community Engagement and Outreach (increase cooperation with other organizations, engage the community/residents)
  • Money (general fundraising, Extension Campaign, future planning)
  • Governance (overhaul policies and procedures, move communication and technology into the 21st century)
  • Content (increase opportunities for activities, share content/exhibits with other organizations)

It would be great if we could find individuals who are interested in/have talents in one or several of these areas to support the growth and development of the work at the museum. Are you such a person? Do you know someone who is?

Please let us know!

A Nominations Committee is being formed to find candidates for vacant board positions. Please contact chair Katharina Woodman katharina_13@yahoo.com with any questions, ideas, leads, interest in joining us!

Thank you, 
Katharina Woodman
