Our leadership team works together to guide preservation projects, oversee stewardship of artifacts and records, and support public programs that bring Pana’s history to life.
From murals and pollinator initiatives to archives and storytelling, the board’s role is to ensure that our work reflects both historical accuracy and a deep respect for the people and places that make Pana unique.
