Volunteer Chair Appointment

The Boston 2026 Executive Committee is pleased to announce the appointment of Jere Dutt as the exhibition’s Volunteer Chair.

A resident of Doylestown, Ohio, Jere is a well-respected exhibitor and national judge best known as a specialist in the philately of Dahomey/Bénin and greater French Colonies. He has shared his knowledge of these areas through numerous in-person and virtual presentations, as well as published works.

Jere is a current board member of the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors, an APS/APRL finance committee member, former corresponding secretary and now president of the France & Colonies Philatelic Society.

Reflecting on his new responsibilities and the work ahead, Chairman Dutt said, “Volunteers are the heartbeat of any stamp show, especially one on the scale of Boston 2026. The size of this event will be a challenge to ensure all goes smoothly and is a great experience for both volunteers and attendees alike. I know with the amazing team assembled it will be an Expo to remember! I am privileged to be a small part of the team and able to work with such excellent philatelists to bring Boston 2026 to life.”

Outside of the hobby he is a third-generation officer of Dutt Enterprises, specializing in personal and household products, an active Rotary member in his community, and a patron of both the Akron Art Museum and Akron Symphony Orchestra.
