Who's involved?

A steering committee has been formed to determine and oversee the goals of the project. It consists of the financial supporters of the project and a small number of selected advisors.

Anthony C. Wood, foundation executive, is the Chair of the Committee.

Members of the committee also include:

Lisa Ackerman, World Monuments Fund
Leah Krauss, New York Community Trust
Anne Van Ingen, New York State Council on the Arts
Randall Mason, Minerva Partners and University of Pennsylvania
Felicia Mayro, St. Mark’s Historic Landmark Fund and the Neighborhood Preservation Center
Vicki Weiner, Minerva Partners and The Pratt Center
Kirstin Sechler, Minerva Partners

Project Administration: Minerva Partners

Since preservation's future goes beyond the purview of any existing preservation organization and to engage as broad a spectrum of the preservation community as possible, it was decided that the visioning process should be administered by an organization uninvolved in the daily give and take of NYC preservation. For these reasons, Minerva Partners — a nonprofit, historic preservation group working in New York and around the world to find solutions to issues of cultural heritage preservation and community development — has been selected to host and manage the project.
