GHPA designated National Trust’s newest Local Partner

In recognition of GHPA's ongoing efforts to create a preservation ethic for the city, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has designated Greater Houston Preservation Alliance as the National Trust Local Partner for Houston. Trust President Richard Moe formally announced GHPA's designation as the Trust’s Local Partner during a visit to Houston on March 30.

"The National Trust's Partners represent the best of the state and local preservation movement. Thanks to partners like GHPA, the distinct cultural heritage of our nation's communities is being protected for future generations," Moe said. "In being named a National Trust Partner, GHPA has demonstrated its solid commitment to strengthening local preservation efforts and its success in building a local constituency for preservation."

The National Trust Statewide and Local Partnerships program was created in 1993 to promote collaborations between local, state and national organizations to build the preservation movement efficiently and effectively. To achieve these goals, the Trust offers its Partners grant support, organizational development assistance, and specialized workshops and training.

"GHPA is proud to be the National Trust's designated Local Partner in Houston," said GHPA Executive Director Ramona Davis. “While GHPA has had a 28-year association with the Trust, this moves our collaboration to a new level and makes our affiliation official.”
