Rich's membership on the Board of Trustees of Young Harris College, the Richard B. Russell Foundation, and the Atlanta Rotary Club and on the advisory board of St. Joseph's Infirmary are represented as is his participation with several other civic and charitable groups.

Additionally, there are correspondence and organizational records for the corporations that Rich served as a member of the board of directors, as well as for Rich's long relationship with the U.S. Army.
