Mass Humanities is governed by a volunteer board of 25 directors who reflect the social and geographic diversity of Massachusetts. Approximately half the board represents the general public (business, labor, the professions, cultural affairs and community life) and half are humanities professionals (college faculty, K-12 teachers, independent scholars, museum and library professionals, and writers). Six directors are appointed by the governor. Mass Humanities gives highest priority to projects that apply the humanities to current issues, deepening public understanding of these issues and thereby enhancing civic life.
