Nancy Brown, of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, received her nomination for 'Leadership/Management' from the Potomac Chapter. A skilled facilitator, trainer and speaker, she seizes opportunities to educate and advocate for public and private-sector landscape preservation, standing strong with Native Americans when federal projects threatened their sites of religious and cultural significance. She guides communities struggling with historic preservation consultation, and works with agency leadership to champion landscape preservation. Among her many notable contributions are the documentation of the Flight 93 crash site and preservation of the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York City.
