National Trust Sponsors Grant for Preservation Greensboro Incorporated
Preservation Greensboro Incorporated (PGI) has been awarded a $567 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to train new board members through an April work session.
This project has been funded in part by a grant from the Terence L. Mills Preservation Fund for North and South Carolina of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Esther Hall, a professional consultant in boardmanship from Raleigh, will lead the work session. She will develop new members of the board of directors by informing them of practice and procedure, and outlining roles of the staff and the board.
“With these funds, Preservation Greensboro Incorporated joins communities nationwide committed to preserving America’s architectural and cultural heritage and, in doing so, creating more livable communities,” said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
PGI executive director Benjamin Briggs added, “This exercise will allow PGI to continue as a strong and effective voice for preservation, revitalization and renewal in our center city neighborhoods.”
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, chartered by Congress in 1949, is a nonprofit organization with more than 250,000 members. As the leader of the national preservation movement, it is committed to saving America’s diverse historic environments and to preserving and revitalizing the livability of communities nationwide.
