DEI Statement

Columbia County Historical Society is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that celebrates the rich tapestry of our community’s history. We recognize that our shared past is shaped by individuals from various backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, and we are dedicated to reflecting that diversity in all aspects of our organization.

We acknowledge that achieving true diversity, equity, and inclusion is an ongoing process that requires continuous learning, self-reflection, and adaptation to ensure that our practices evolve with the changing needs of our community.  

We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in our leaders, members, staff, and patrons, in our programming, both in content and curatorial participation, and in the stories we tell about our communities, Columbia County, New York and beyond.

We welcome board submissions!  Please email lisa@cchsny.org.
