Our Board of Directors

The Pendleton Historic Foundation is governed by a 20-member Board of Directors and managed by our Foundation Director and a staff of volunteers. The Board of Directors meets in Pendleton once a month. In addition, a half-day planning retreat is scheduled in early January of each year, often followed up with a mid-year reassessment session in July.

Standing Committees

The following committees are open to all volunteer members and are typically led by a board member. The purpose of these committees is to help meet the Foundation’s needs and work towards the objectives that promote educational services and help preserve the homes. Below is a brief explanation of each committee’s responsibilities. If you would like to volunteer to a committee, please contact us through our e-mail or phone number located in the Contact Us page.
