Experience

1. Assistant Director, Federal Property Management Section, Achp

   Advisory Council On Historic Preservation

   Oct 2021 — Present · National Building Museum, DC, US

   I serve as the Assistant Director for the ACHP\'s Federal Property Management Section. The ACHP promotes the preservation, enhancement, and sustainable use of the nation’s diverse historic resources, and advises the President and Congress on national historic preservation policy. The ACHP promotes the importance of historic preservation to foster an understanding of the nation\'s heritage and the contribution that historic preservation can make to contemporary communities, along with their economic and social well-being.The ACHP was created by the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, which sets forth most of the ACHP\'s duties and authorities. Passage of the NHPA was a watershed event that launched a transformation of the federal government from an agent of indifference—frequently responsible for needless loss of historic resources—to a facilitator, an agent of thoughtful change, and a responsible steward of historic properties for future generations.
