“Jack” John B. Richards

Board Member

Jack Richards joins the board after spending his career as a lawyer in Washington, DC.

After graduating from Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle, PA, Richards went to work for the Federal Communications Commission. He spent more than a decade with the Commission, before going to work with Keller and Heckman LLP. Richards was recognized as a “SuperLawyer” for three consecutive years (2014, 2015, 2016).

Richards’ work at Keller and Heckman brought him to the Museum. Keller and Heckman is located in the same historic Penn Quarter neighborhood as the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum (CBMSO). Richards began bringing the firm’s interns to the CBMSO and a beautiful friendship was born.

Richards’ partnership with the Museum builds upon his lifetime interest in the American Civil War.
