Board of Trustees and Staff

The Highline Heritage Museum is administered by a Board of Trustees with Nancy Salguero McKay as Director. She is assisted by University of Washington Museum Studies interns and a cadre of well-trained volunteers. Additional support comes from local professionals in museum studies, graphic arts, history, youth engagement, fabrication, and an expanding list of future needs for the museum.

We are accepting additional volunteers at this time.
