Our Committees

Collections and Preservation

The Collections and Preservation Committee is all about protecting and sharing Waukee’s history. If you love to research, organize, and dig into stories from the past, this behind-the-scenes team might be a great fit for you.

You’ll help catalog and preserve historical artifacts, write up the stories behind them, and explain how they connect to the bigger picture of our community’s heritage. The committee also manages artifact donations, ensures items are handled and stored properly, and helps create interesting displays for events. It’s hands-on, thoughtful work that keeps Waukee’s history alive and accessible for future generations.

This team works for months to create a fun, memorable celebration that brings the community together and supports the preservation of Waukee’s history. From coordinating logistics and sponsorships to organizing volunteers and handling setup and customer service on the big day, there’s a lot that goes into making Wauktoberfest a success. Whether you’ve got a little time or a lot, there’s a place for you on this team to help keep this beloved tradition going strong.

Community Engagement

Whether it’s hanging posters, attending events, or collaborating with other organizations, you’ll be an ambassador for WAHS. If you’re outgoing and creative, you can also help create and give presentations about local history and what WAHS is all about. From behind-the-scenes work to being out in the community, there are plenty of ways to get involved and make an impact.
