A member of NHD\u2019s Board of Trustees since 2024 and Chair of the Governance Committee since 2025, Romano was elected during National History Day\u2019s Board of Trustees meeting in June.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">Romano is a Professor of History Emeritus at Oberlin College, an Adjunct Professor in the Museum Studies Program at City University of New York, and co-founder of Romano &amp; Min Projects, a consulting firm that helps cultural organizations craft compelling, community-centered historical narratives. She is the author or editor of five books exploring race, historical memory, and public history, including <em>Racial Reckoning: Reopening America\u2019s Civil Rights Trials<\/em> (Harvard University Press, 2014); <em>Race Mixing: Black-White Marriage in Postwar America<\/em> (Harvard University Press, 2003); and <em>Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical Is Restaging America\u2019s Past<\/em> (Rutgers University Press, 2018).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am deeply honored and humbled to serve as the next chair of the Board of Trustees for National History Day,\u201d said Romano. \u201cThanks to the extraordinary leadership of outgoing chair Celie Niehaus and Executive Director Cathy Gorn, National History Day is poised for an exciting new era of growth. Our mission\u2014to improve the teaching and learning of history\u2014has never been more important, and I am excited to be part of the organization\u2019s next chapter.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">A participant of National History Day herself, Romano is the first NHD alumna to chair the Board of Trustees. Romano will work in partnership with the Board of Trustees and Executive Director Dr. Cathy Gorn to guide the organization\u2019s direction and support fundraising initiatives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRenee has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to NHD\u2019s mission of improving the teaching and learning of history, and we are excited to have her lead National History Day into its next chapter,\u201d said National History Day Executive Director, Dr. Cathy Gorn. \u201cHer own participation in NHD as a student will be a great asset to guide the organization, and she will be an example to current NHD students of what they can accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">Romano will take over as chair of NHD\u2019s Board of Trustees from Celie Niehaus, who is retiring from the Board at the end of the fiscal year. As President of the Board of Trustees from 2016 to 2026, Niehaus led the organization through a global pandemic, attacks on funding for history education, and NHD\u2019s continued expansion into 56 U.S. states, territories, and country affiliate programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">To support the next generation of students, Niehaus and their wife, Tabitha Niehaus, have made a significant planned giving pledge to National History Day. They are fulfilling their 50 for 50 financial commitment and currently sponsor the Equality in History special prize at the NHD National Contest, which awards outstanding entries that illuminate the history and struggle for human equality.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt has been an honor to serve National History for over 13 years. The students and teachers are truly inspirational, and being a small part of their journey has been a privilege,\u201d said Niehaus. \u201cWhile I may not be involved on a regular basis, my wife, Tabitha, and I believe in NHD\u2019s mission and its critical role in history education. We encourage others to make National History Day part of their planned giving to sustain the next 50 years (and more) of students and teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are so grateful for Celie\u2019s leadership over the past decade, which has made NHD the esteemed organization it is today,\u201d said Dr. Gorn. \u201cTheir continued support will have a profound impact on NHD\u2019s ability to increase access to quality history education across the country, and we are thankful for their dedication to NHD\u2019s mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p  class=\"appear-on-scroll has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" >###<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About National History Day (NHD)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-paragraph\">NHD is a non-profit organization based in College Park, Maryland, that seeks to improve the teaching and learning of history.
