More than 80 devoted full-time and part-time staff, trustees, and members of our advisory groups contribute their time and talents to fulfilling our mission, making the DC History Center an inspiring place to connect, empower, and inspire. Our people are passionate, dedicated, and always looking toward the future.
The Latino/a/x Advisory Group (LAG) comprises community members, scholars, artists, activists, and educators who represent a myriad of DC’s Latino/a/x communities. The LAG is intentionally crafted to bring together diverse perspectives from a wide range of national, gender, sexual orientation, and multi-generational identities to disrupt patterns of cultural extraction and monolithic narratives. The LAG informs and influences the DC History Center’s incorporation of local Latino/a/x community histories in programs, education, exhibits, research, and scholarship.
Since 2023, a 10-member cohort is convened annually. All members serve a term of one year, which can be renewed/extended for an additional year. Members of the LAG are provided with a stipend for their participation and collaboration in the working group’s activities. Applications to the LAG are accepted on a rolling basis.
