From Website Preview to Board Elections and a Year in Review
On June 21, 2025, members of the Pennsylvania Postal History Society (PaPHS) gathered for the Annual Meeting to reflect on the past year, elect new leadership, and chart the course ahead. In conjunction with SCOPEX, the annual stamp show and exhibition hosted by the Mount Nittany Philatelic Society in Bellefonte, PA. Meeting attendees included members attending the show as well as absentees via Zoom. There were two main orders of business: election of officers and an update on the society’s new website.
Website Preview
Meeting attendees had an opportunity to preview the new website designed for PaPHS. Developed with the Society’s mission and member experience in mind. The updated site emphasizes ease of use, accessibility, and engagement. Ushering Pennsylvania postal history into modern day.
This thoughtful redesign was led by Sarah Drucker of Discovering Legacy, whose strategic vision and member-centered approach brought the site to life. We encourage you to explore all that the new website has to offer. Including the new PaPHS blog!
Board Elections
There were two vacant seats for the Director of the Society. Tom Horn was elected to fill one, and the other remained vacant with a promise to find another member willing to serve. Several days later, John Howker came forward to fill the seat. Thanks, Tom and John! We look forward to seeing your impact on postal history. The Office of Secretary remains vacant. Please e-mail info@paphs.org if you are interested in the position.
Without further ado, here are the results from the Board Elections that took place on June 21, 2025:
- President

- Treasurer
- Richard Colberg
- Office of Secretary
- Remains Vacant
- Director of the Society
