Preserving the Past to Build a Better Future
The Alexandria Historical Society presents a lecture by Nicholas Redding, President and CEO of Preservation Maryland, who will highlight the work of the organization to save key resources, invest in historic trades, and promote affordable communities. Nicholas has led Preservation Maryland since 2014, and oversees its operations, programs and growing professional staff. Since his arrival, he has overseen a complex merger and the subsequent creation of Smart Growth Maryland, a dynamic new program of the organization. Additionally, he has worked in partnership with the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center to establish the Campaign for Historic Trades, a new program dedicated to developing the next generation of traditional tradespeople.
Outside of the organization, Nicholas serves as the vice-chair of the National Preservation Partners Network, a national network of statewide and local preservation organizations. Previously he has acted as the chair of the Maryland Partners for Open Space, the statewide open space advocacy coalition, and as the vice-chair of the Frederick County Historic Preservation Commission.
Prior to arriving at Preservation Maryland, Nicholas served in leadership positions at several heritage and preservation organizations including ExecutiveDirector of Long Branch Plantation, a 19th century historic site in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, and Deputy Director for Advocacy at the Civil War Trust in Washington, DC. During time spent at the Civil War Trust, Redding led a national coalition to prevent the construction of a casino on the iconic Gettysburg battlefield.
Tickets are available at the door - $5 for non-members and free to members of the Alexandria Historical Society. Memberships can be purchased or renewed at the event. Light refreshments will be served.
