ORGANIZATION
AND OFFICERS The Company of Military
Historians started
as an informal group of six individuals in 1949, and other interested
people soon joined them. The society was officially formed at a meeting in
1951 and was incorporated in Washington DC the same year as The Company of
Military Collectors & Historians. In 1962, by a majority vote of the
membership, the name was changed to The Company of Military Historians.
Membership is open to adults
of eighteen years and over who have demonstrated a keen interest in some
phase of military history. There are no requirements concerning sex, race,
color, nationality, ethnic background, or political affiliation. The main
qualification is a strong desire to share one's knowledge and expertise.
No part of The Company's
earnings is used to benefit any individual, and none of its activities is
devoted to lobbying or propaganda. Its publications are available to all.
Incorporated in the District of Columbia, its nonprofit status is
recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.
The activities, funds, and
properties of The Company are controlled and managed by a Board of
Governors of fifteen members, elected by the entire membership. The Board
consists of three panels of five governors each, a new panel being elected
every year, and each panel serving a three-year term.
Members perform, without
compensation, the Company's other managerial duties: administration,
editing and other functions of its publications, and management of
meetings and exhibits.
A general meeting is held
annually, usually over a spring weekend that includes seminars, discussion
groups, exhibits, tours of historic sites, a flea market, a business
meeting, a dinner, and appropriate entertainment. Regional meetings are
held regularly in those areas that have local chapters.
Dues, subscriptions, fees,
donations, and bequests support The Company's activities. They are
deductible, within legal limits, in computing taxes.
