Palladium events are coordinated by the efforts of the volunteer-led Palladium Board. Board members have the opportunity to gain leadership experience and network more deeply with other Palladium and Historic Columbia members. Board members serve on a variety of committees that oversee Palladium events and research initiatives, and take an active role in collaborating with Historic Columbia staff to bring these ideas to life.
