Since August 2015, Scott English has served as the American Philatelic Society’s 7th Executive Director. With a rich public service and non-profit management background, English has significantly contributed to governmental and philatelic communities through his transformational leadership and innovative initiatives.

After nearly a decade, APS Executive Director Scott is leaving the APS. He’s been invited to share his memories and offer advice on the future of the hobby and organized philately. Whether you’re a member of the APS or just an interested collector, Scott invites you to join this presentation to ask questions and share your thoughts.

Scott’s journey in public service began in Washington, D.C., in 1994, when he started working for Citizens Against Government Waste, an organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. His investigative work led to the development of stricter waste, fraud, and abuse protections in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and the termination of costly research programs. His work led him to work for former U.S. Representatives Mark Sanford and Bob Barr, where he played vital roles in legislative oversight and policy development.

One of Scott’s notable accomplishments in the philatelic world was his involvement in recovering the Inverted Jenny, one of the world’s most famous and valuable postage stamps. His efforts brought this rare stamp back to the philatelic community and highlighted the APS’s commitment to preserving philatelic history.

Throughout his career, Scott has been recognized for his unwavering commitment to public service, strategic vision, and ability to lead and inspire teams. Under his leadership, the APS continues to thrive, fostering a love for stamp collecting and connecting enthusiasts worldwide. In 2021, the Royal Philatelic Society of London named him a Fellow of the Royal, one of its highest recognitions.
