The current Board of Trustees and staff of the DC Preservation League wish to acknowledge those individuals who over the last fifty years have contributed their time, energy, and money to an organization and a cause in which they believed. From just a handful of concerned citizens has grown a respected advocacy group committed to the role that historic preservation plays in the life of our city. Over the years, more than two hundred people have served as officers, board members, and staff for Don’t Tear It Down/DC Preservation League. The following lists include founding members and past trustees as well as past executive directors and staff. We have combed DCPL files, consulted a range of sources, and done our best to identify those who have helped sustain the organization over the past half-century. If you believe a name is missing, please contact us at 50th@dcpreservation.org. Thank You!
