Our President and CEO

Jody Blankenship

Jody Blankenship was appointed president and CEO of the Indiana Historical Society in 2019. He previously served as CEO of the Connecticut Historical Society. Under Blankenship’s leadership, the Connecticut Historical Society enhanced customer service, increased service hours, and improved and speeded up cataloging. During his tenure, the number of new, public exhibitions increased each year from three to nine, affinity groups for specific history specialties were created, and the availability of the collection of historical materials increased so that people in Connecticut have increased direct access to their history. Blankenship also led the successful adoption of the 25-year-old Connecticut Folklife Program, a partnership that represents the histories of all of Connecticut’s diverse population, and significantly increased the organization’s revenues, grew investments to $56 million, and substantially increased annual fundraising.

“Historical societies must be laboratories where we can observe the actual as well as the intended consequences of ideas.”
