Board members are elected by our membership through mail-in ballots. Board members serve staggered three-year terms, with part of the Board up for election each year. The Board meets once a month at a time chosen by the group.
We find that each of the Board members brings rich and different talents, and we are grateful for their important volunteer contributions, especially considering that some Board members have fulltime jobs. If you would like to learn more about being a Board member, please contact us.
Rick Divers: 2024 President
I am a fourth generation descendant of the Burns family of Fall City, and have lived most all of my life here. I attended Fall City Elementary School in the old brick school building, and graduated from Mount Si High School. Because of this background, I felt like I had a lot that I could contribute to the Historical Society's preservation goals. All of the members of this group are dedicated and fun to work with, and I look forward to spending time preserving Fall City's history with them.
Norm Jacobson: 2024 Vice President, Treasurer
My wife and I moved to Fall City in February of 1979. Our two sons went to Fall City Elementary and Chief Kanim Middle School. By some peoples standards, we are still considered "New Comers" to the valley as compared to fourth and fifth generation families that live here; but our family now has three generations living here so we’re working on becoming "Old Timers"! I love getting to know new bits and pieces of our town’s history, getting to know more of the folks who live here now and about those that came before. I’m excited to now be part of the Board.
Cindy Parks: 2024 Secretary
I was happy to join the board way back in 2007. The history of Fall City needed to be documented and accessible to all. Our first big project was the Memory Book. Each of our board members has a unique strength and together we are mighty. I love marketing and promoting our group.
Ruth Pickering: 2024 Director
Working with Jack Kelley on Jack's History of Fall City thoroughly infected me with local history! The FCHS Board is a delightful group to work with and I'm proud of what we have accomplished since 2007. We hope you follow us on Facebook and in the Fall City Neighbors Newsletter.
Gene Stevens: 2024 Master Historian
As a lifelong resident of Fall City, Gene is excited to be initiating our latest project, capturing Oral Histories with some of our longstanding residents. With many of his own stories to share, we are looking forward to this new treasure for our community.
Donna Diver-Kummen: 2024 Board Member
As a charter member of the board, I have enjoyed watching the organization grow. Our team works well with each of us having unique skills and interests. We have fun putting on events and collecting history. When not planning historical displays, I dabble in music, gardening, sewing, and cooking.
