Humanities Council Executive Director Deborah Watrous has been elected Vice-Chair of the Board of the Federation of State Humanities Councils.
The Federation, founded in 1977, is the membership association of 54 state and territorial councils. Through its program of research, conferences, collaborative projects, and communication to members, legislators and others on issues of public interest, the Federation provides support for the state humanities councils and strives to create greater awareness of the humanities in public life.
Councils are independent, nonprofit organizations run by small staffs and governed by volunteer boards drawn from academia and the public, which support grassroots humanities programs and community-based activities in each state and US territory. Humanities councils were created by Congress in the early 1970s and receive an annual congressional appropriation through the National Endowment for the Humanities, which for most councils is supplemented by state and private funding.
Watrous will serve a four-year term on the national Board which is charged with the development of policy, communications and advocacy positions for the Federation as well as overseeing the delivery of programs and services to member councils.
“This is a valuable opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the role of the public humanities around the nation,” said Watrous. “And it’s a joy to spend time with such smart, dedicated people.”
