AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR VOLUNTEERS


Here at the National Museum of Natural History we are privileged to have a diverse and dedicated corps of volunteers whose talents and knowledge significantly contribute toward the Museum’s mission. Without all of you, the Museum would not be able to provide such a range of educational offerings or valuable support to our collections and research staff.

On behalf of the Museum, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your tireless efforts in providing exceptional service to the staff and visitors of your National Museum. We look forward to working with you in the future on new and exciting projects.

Thank You,
Donna Tuggle
Volunteer and Visitor Services Manager
National Museum of Natural History
