The Missouri Humanities Council promotes community, citizenship, and lifelong learning through programs that enable Missourians, of all ages and from all walks of life, to understand, interpret, preserve, and contribute to the stories of human experience. All serve on a volunteer basis. Six members are appointed by the Governor, and the rest are elected to rotating terms of three years by the board.
Board members come from all over Missouri.
They include college presidents and deans, professors, people from a variety of professions, and several community leaders.
