Pierre duPont Irving, with his wife Kathy and son Michael Pierre duPont Irving has been a calm and deliberative force in the development of The Preservation Society of Newport County for nearly a quarter of a century. Beginning with his election to the Board of Trustees in 1986, through his service as Treasurer, Curt Ramm and John Muggeridge Vice Chairman, and ultimately Chairman of the Board, he has provided dependable and thoughtful leadership on issues of significance facing the organization, and helped it grow into the internationally-recognized and accredited museum complex it is today. Through the years of his devoted volunteer service, Pierre has been especially influential on the Preservation Society’s fiscal policies, helping to oversee the growth of our budget from approximately 3.5 million dollars to approximately 17 million dollars today. Under his direct leadership, the Preservation Society created its multi-year strategic plan – a comprehensive roadmap for how David Dangremond we will operate, grow, and remain relevant into the 21st century. For Volunteerism Pierre has worked tirelessly over the years to ensure that the Preservation Society properties, each an important cultural landmark In recognition of his years of leadership and involvement with helping to define our national heritage, are preserved and made available for interpretation by present and future generations. The Newport Symposium, making it an internationally-acclaimed Pierre was also actively involved in the Public Policy Committee, helping to extend the influence of the Preservation Society forum for the discussion of art and cultural history. statewide as the Society worked to support legislation in support of state historic preservation tax credits, and locally, the hiring of an historic preservation planner for the City of Newport. Within Newport County itself, Pierre is helping to make the Preservation Society an influential partner with the City of Newport and local organizations to preserve the historic character and quality of life of our city. David Dangremond and Frank Ray Equipped with a warm smile and a down-to-earth sense of humor, Pierre is as much at home mingling with staff at the employee picnic, as discussing the intricacies of finance in the Board Room. His approachability and his genuine interest in the concerns of Trustees, members, employees, and volunteers are much appreciated by all. For all of these reasons, and for his overall devotion to the Preservation Society over twenty-four years of faithful volunteer service, Kate Gubelmann as well as his ongoing appreciation for the value of historic preservation, we are honored to confer on Pierre duPont Irving the Antiquarian Award for Distinguished Service and Untiring Devotion to the Work of The Preservation Society of Newport County.
