We are indeed proud of our long list of distinguished
amateur and professional philatelists who have served The Philatelic
Foundation over many decades, and of those who continue to do so.
The responsibilities are many; the recompense, except for our small
paid staff, is in knowing that The Philatelic Foundation remains
the standard for expertizing and therefore for confidence in philately.
The "family" of the PF includes
two Chairmen: the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and the Chairman
of the Expert Committee. The Board of Trustees
is drawn from amateur and professional philatelists throughout the United States,
and includes both dealers and auctioneers.
In addition, an Oversight Committee
of the Board of Trustees includes other former or present Board
members who closely monitor the financial
health of our institution.
Our small staff includes experts with long
experience in technical philately.
