Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees supports our dedicated and experienced staff to achieve our shared preservation mission.
Trustees hail from our largest cities to our smallest towns, from the Quiet Corner to the shoreline.  They are professionals in the fields of finance, strategic consulting, preservation technical services, estate planning, history, literature, woodworking, architecture, and law, among other areas.  Our Trustees pride themselves on strong connections to a diverse array of stakeholders, from local historical societies to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Vernacular Architectural Forum, and the National Park Service.
