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.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. 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.
