In a message to all FANHS chapters, FANHS National Trustee, Joe Virata, announced that the FANHS National Director Search Committee is working hand in hand with the Executive Committee, Board of Trustees, and Auntie Dorothy Cordova in leading FANHS into its next stage of growth as a national organization. Chapters are encouraged to help the committee identify strong candidates for National Director.
The Filipino American National Historical Society’s (FANHS) mission is to gather, document, and share Filipino American History with our Trustees, our 44 chapters across the nation, and all parties around the world. “Know History, Know Self” informs our sense of identity, community, and contributions to US society. FANHS’ beloved founder and Executive Director Auntie Dorothy (Dr. Dorothy Laigo Cordova) led FANHS for the past 40+ years. As she focuses on deepening her research, we are transitioning to a paid National Director who can sustain and grow FANHS’ tremendous legacy. FANHS’ importance cannot be underscored enough during these times of dissent towards Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory and the banning of books that tell the histories of historically marginalized groups. If you are passionate about Filipino American and ethnic history and growing our organization, this may be the job for you. Download this PDF file for full details: FANHS National Director Posting.
