Some of our nation’s most significant historic buildings are now at risk. Join WNDC for a timely and urgent presentation by Rebecca Miller, executive director of the DC Preservation League (DCPL). She will discuss what her organization and others are doing in response to President Trump's flouting of federal laws and regulations to demolish the East Wing of the White House for a monstrous new ballroom; destroy the integrity of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building; and desecrate, demolish, or dispose of other major federal buildings important to the history of the nation’s capital.

EVENT DETAILS:

• Remarks and Q&A, in-person and via Zoom.
• 11:30 a.m. cash bar opens, 12:15 p.m. lunch (optional), 1–2 p.m. program.
• $10 lecture or Zoom only, $30 members and $40 guests for lunch (plus tax).

Rebecca Miller has been with DCPL since 2003. In addition to supervising DCPL's day-to-day operations, she represents the organization as a consulting party to federal agencies on National Historic Preservation Act issues. This has included the consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security at the National Historic Landmark St. Elizabeths Hospital West Campus, Union Station, and the FBI Headquarters. She has also led efforts to protect dozens of individual landmarks and historic districts throughout DC.
