Members’ Weekend

One benefit of membership in the James Smithson Society is attending the Annual Members’ Weekend. Each year, members gather from around the country to celebrate the Smithsonian programs made possible in part by their generous annual contributions.

We are excited to announce that the next James Smithson Society Members' Weekend will be held May 13-15, 2010. The Saturday evening black-tie celebration dinner will be held at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. Throughout the weekend, members will be able to experience many of the Smithsonian museums and research centers through receptions, tours, and opportunities to meet with Smithsonian leadership.

A few highlights of last year's Weekend include a keynote address by Secretary G. Wayne Clough, in-depth tours led by Institution curators and scholars, and a reception and dinner at the newly renovated National Museum of American History, Kenneth E. Behring Center.
