Gary AdkinsGary Adkins, current Vice President and three term board member of the American Numismatic Association announced today that he will run for the office of President of the organization.
“The ANA has made a great deal of progress over the past few years, especially under the Presidency of Jeff Garrett and the current Board, as well as our Executive Director, Kim Kiick. I want to continue that forward momentum and do what I can to improve our services and commitments to members, dealers and the numismatic community in general.”

Developing and improving Strategic partnerships with key organizations in the industry is also a goal of Adkins. “We have enjoyed working with many great partners to improve and enhance direct and indirect membership benefits.” These partnerships are crucial to improving our hobby.
“The board this past term has been excellent”, said Adkins. “I look forward to serving with these great people again, and with any new members who may be elected, to help steer the ANA successfully into the future, as the premier organization, serving collectors for over 125 years.”
