Board Membership

Support

The Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum Trustees play a vital role in supporting the Museum’s mission and governance, ensuring the organization’s continued success and its ability to serve the community and preserve its rich historical legacy.

The RJD is in the final year of its strategic plan centered on community engagement, diversity, inclusion, and expanded programming. With steadily increasing attendance, a diversified income base, and an integral role in the Abolition Row narrative, The RJD is poised for continued growth. The Pathways Campaign is also in progress, reinforcing the Museum’s financial future.

The RJD is committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion at all levels of its leadership. The Museum is actively seeking new Board members who will reflect the communities it serves, bringing diverse perspectives and experiences to decision-making, strategic planning, and key discussions. The RJD believes that a varied and inclusive Board is essential to driving the Museum’s mission and ensuring its ongoing impact on the community.

Trustees serve a minimum of three years, with a maximum term of nine years. The Board meets bi-monthly, and Trustees are required to serve on at least one committee and actively participate in the Museum’s events and programs.

Nominations typically open in March. Interested individuals may consider serving on a committee, or volunteering for the Museum in the meantime. For more information, please contact Executive Director Dawn Salerno at 508-997-1401 or…
