2025 Board of Directors Elected

In our December Meeting the LTHS Board elected new officers for 2025.

2024 saw several changes to our board and the year ended with the resignation of former president John Porteous. We would like to recognize and thank John, who served as president for the last several years. His leadership and contributions were significant and long lasting. Some of the best exhibits we have ever offered were generated under his tenure. John helped us make significant headway to convert to computer based displays and WIFI connectivity. His efforts to partner with other nonprofits to create pertinent and meaningful displays achieved great results. John expects to continue helping us with The Backcast podcasts and with displays as time permits.

Heather Lovells left the board at the end of 2024 at the same time she resigned her position as Township Trustee. Heather served as the Township representative to the board and as Board Secretary. She was a mainstay that kept us organized and worked tirelessly on displays and events insuring great results. Many thanks to Heather. 

Darby Kuenzel resigned from the board earlier in the year. Darby was an at-large board member that contributed valuable time and resources. Her generosity, attention to detail, and efforts to make things right will be missed. Thank you Darby.

Many thanks to John, Heather, and Darby for their years of participation and service to the Historical Society and the community we serve.
