New council members. Last week, the National Postal Museum announced four appointments to its Council of Philatelists: Ann Dunkin, chief strategy and innovation officer at Dell Technologies; Scott Guthrie, a Microsoft vice president; Yamil H. Kouri, an oncologist and hematologist; and financier Edmund Truell.

Dunkin, Guthrie and Kouri are stamp collectors.

Besides advising on stamp collection matters, the council promotes the museum’s mission and helps to strengthen its financial base. Members are appointed by the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents.
