ALL ABOUT MEMBERSHIP:
Join GHHN this year!
Invest your talent, time and advocacy efforts, and build professional capacity, as together we strengthen the museum and history field of Finders, Keepers & Interpreters. TOGETHER IS BETTER!
GHHN's individual members define the profile of Keepers' Progress in the Hudson
Valley and greater metropolitan region.
GHHN's consultant members are individual professionals who offer services to
the cultural education and heritage communities. GHHN welcomes artists, architects, conservators, curators, educators, filmmakers, fund-raisers, historians, interpreters, lawyers, marketers, publicists,
performers, planners, programmers, researchers, restorers, and writers to join the network.
GHHN's organizational members steward 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century sites, collections and programs that reveal the sense of place, time and rich diversity found in the evocative communities of this National Heritage Area.
GHHN's business members phrase their support for regional progress through the
Greater Hudson Heritage Network Annual Meeting and Awards Towards Excellence program, each October.
