Board of Directors
The Historic Nashville Easements Board of Directors provides focused governance and stewardship for Nashville’s preservation easement program. Composed of leaders in preservation, law, real estate, finance, and civic life, the board oversees the acceptance, monitoring, and enforcement of easements that permanently protect significant historic properties. Working in close coordination with Preserve Nashville’s broader leadership, the board ensures that each easement balances sound preservation standards with practical, long‑term value for property owners and the community.
