Our diversity, minority inclusion, ethnic joy, heritage celebration, and women leadership go back to 1994 when we were considered pioneers. There was nothing pioneering about it. Today, we have little desire to associate with products and companies that showcase inequality and imbalance. The statements of
- "It is too hard to find enough qualified women and minorities to serve at high levels," are lies and fraud. When we explore any company and see immediate, website boards, and leadership that are unequal we will have little desire to work with them.
- Companies formed with all women, or all one ethnic or heritage group under the premise of, "It's what they did to us for centuries, so now we are doing it back to them" are just as fake and engaging in systemic inequality.
You'll find our board focused on shared generosity, O.C. Tanner rewards and team celebrations.

The center is not run by any government institution but is a private museum controlled by a private board and trustees. It has been vetted, examined, and inspected by the General Counsel of the White House Military Office, twice.
Our board and trustee seats require a one-year probationary period to monitor the behavior and serious demeanor of candidates before the final confirmation. We require three printed letters of recommendation via mail or four existing Trustees Concurrence to Nominate for any new board member. After serving for six years, board members can achieve the distinction of a Long-term Board Member.
Trustees are different and often icons of industry or community and may come from obtuse walks of life and profession. Our Trustee positions expanded in 2020 to allow for additional members that will enable the museum and institution to promote its mission, navigate new ideas in the marketplace, engage audiences, and openly continue to connect with the community. Our exhibits and research continue to lead the market and other foundations often seek our guidance and lending of items -for shows.
