Getting to Know the Philatelic Foundation

Who are the individuals behind the Philatelic Foundation – the experts, the executive director, the trustees – who continue to keep the high standard of what the Philatelic Foundation has become known for over the many decades of it’s continuing service to philately?

Over the course of the next year, we will meet each individual and get to know them a little bit better. This will help shed light on their background, their interest in philately and why they dedicate their time towards making the Philatelic Foundation the go-to place for expertizing stamps and postal history. Here are the interviews of the staff and the Board of Trustees of the Philatelic Foundation:
