THF Directors are individuals from across the state who are interested in the preservation of Texas history.
Board members make an annual financial contribution (allocated to fund THF operations), support fundraising activities, volunteer on committees, and attend quarterly meetings. Directors and their guests also are invited to quarterly meetings that include behind-the-scene tours throughout the Texas Republic.
If you are interested in becoming a director, please contact Jessica Gadis. Directors from the Panhandle and West Texas are especially needed.
