The following is taken from an August 10, 2005 press release:
"The Gallery Mint Museum Foundation continues towards its
goal of establishing the premier minting museum in the United
States with the selection of its first Board of Directors. Agreeing
to serve on the twelve-member Board are historians, minting
scholars and museum professionals whose names are already
familiar in the numismatic world.

The new GMM Board includes Erik Goldstein, Curator of
Mechanical Arts and Numismatics at Colonial Williamsburg;
John Kraljevich, numismatic researcher; Dick Johnson, founding
editor of Coin World and widely published author on medals
and minting; U.S. Mint historian Robert Julian; Greg Lambousy,
Director of Collections at the Louisiana State Museum; Ron
Landis, noted die engraver and visionary founder of Gallery Mint,
Inc.; Chris Madden, intaglio engraver with the Bureau of Printing
and Engraving; John Nebel, computer guru and numismatic
photographer; Edward C. Rochette, Executive Director emeritus
of the American Numismatic Association and founder of the
ANA#39;s Summer Seminars; Bob Evans, Chief Scientist, Conservator
and Exhibitor of the S. S. Central America “Ship of Gold,”
Timothy Grat, Chief Coiner and long time employee of the Gallery
Mint and Mike Ellis, Editor of the “Cherrypickers#39; Guide to Rare
Die Varieties, Fourth Edition, Volume I,” current president of
CONECA and error coin authenticator for ICG.

Board President Ron Landis noted that the new, non-profit
numismatic museum was careful to select individuals with
impeccable academic reputations and a passion for minting
technology to serve on the Board. “This is a ‘Dream Team#39;
with a clear understanding of museums, numismatics and minting.
We are going to move very fast in reaching our goals,” he said.
