I also extend my appreciation to our hard-working staff, led by CEO & Executive Director Trudy Coxe, who do the day-to-day work of carrying out the policies and directives set by the Board, and making sure that our historic house museums are the best anywhere. Trudy, you know that you have had the full support and backing of the Board, and your communications with that body have been extraordinary.

Tonight, I am addressing you for the final time as Chairman of the Board - which means I am speaking for the final time as chairman of what I believe to be one of America's great museums.

That's saying a lot - we have not always thought of ourselves that way, but the time has come.

I want to travel back in time a bit to see how we have changed, and importantly, how we have remained true to the mission set out by our founders. Our organization is complex and often not well understood. Historic preservation is more than just patching roofs and cleaning 3 interiors. It is about education, satisfying the curiosity of visitors, and remaining relevant.

Good evening ladies & gentlemen, thank you for being here to help As you all know, the founding purpose behind the Preservation the Preservation Society celebrate another eventful and successful Society in 1945 was to save Hunter House. But this was really just the year of protecting, preserving and presenting some of America's most first act in an advocacy effort to preserve the architectural heritage significant legacy properties. of colonial Newport. This advocacy effort helped spawn a revolving fund in 1948 to fix up colonial properties. Where it made sense, these I want to recognize our incredible Board of Trustees.

The third chapter is one we have entered over the last several years with added focus on the collections, the landscapes, and education. In so doing, we really have become a great museum.

• Our collections are at their best thanks to Eugene Roberts.

• Our 25 year old Symposium is one of the most prestigious in the country thanks to Angela Fischer.

• There is no house in our collection that is better cared for than Hunter House, due to Elizabeth Leatherman.

• Arcane and important finance and insurance issues are under control thanks to the smarts of Mark Watson, who by the way is also an internationally recognized sailor.

• Every board needs a Sarah Gewirz. Decisive, no nonsense, let's get the job done, she was the first to contribute to our comprehensive campaign. 7 • Which brings me to David Ford, who several years ago - a bit reluctantly - agreed to co-chair that campaign with Pierre Irving and Dayton Carr. And all they've done is exceed the goal by $10 million. David's unflagging optimism was a key factor.

And, once they have finished their tours of The Breakers, we want them to enjoy refreshments as is done in museums around the world.

Another thing that will make us a greater museum in the future is the kind of research we can turn out - thus our Fellows Program. On August 11 we will dedicate the Carriage House at The Elms as a scholars center, where our visiting fellows will be able to live and work.

As we head into the future we also want to further establish the Preservation Society's credentials as a custodian of great landscapes. That's why being certified as an official Level II arboretum this year was so important. But perhaps the biggest statement we could make Laura Jenkins is one of the new class of Fellows who are the first to live and work in the is bringing our gardens back to their former splendor.

We were just the second museum in New England to begin using tablets for our audio tours, allowing us to include photos and maps and more information for our guests. We also now have a download- able mobile app, so that visitors can listen to the audio tours on their own smart devices. I particularly want to thank the family of Snehal Shah, who donated the development of the app - which took many months of work.

12 Antiquarian Award Awarded To Donald O. Ross FOR HIS EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP ON and OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PRESERVATION SOCIETY OF NEWPORT COUNTY

Elected in 1989, Donald O. Ross has been a Trustee of The Preservation Society of Newport County for twenty-seven years, including three as Vice President, five as Treasurer and six as Chairman of the Board.

A Trustee’s job is to guide the organization’s future, secure philanthropic resources to fulfill the mission, oversee the organization’s financial integrity, develop leadership to assure succession and be an engaged and informed ambassador. Don Ross has steadfastly executed each of these responsibilities with professionalism, good humor and unparalleled dedication.

Above: New Board Chair Monty Burnham presents the Antiquarian Award to Donald O. Ross Annual Report 2015-2016 13

As Treasurer, Finance Committee Chair and Investment Committee Chair, Don expertly guided the organization through the Great Recession. During his service on the Board, endowment funds increased from $8.7 million to $35.8 million, and deferred maintenance decreased from $13.5 million to less than $500,000. He has been a lead member of the Steering Committee for our first Comprehensive Campaign, which had a goal of $21 million and is poised to exceed $33 million when it ends on December 31, 2016.

As Chairman, Don secured Board approval of our comprehensive Strategic Plan to lead the Preservation Society well into the twenty-first century. The Plan is already bearing fruit. This fall, four members of the Preservation Society’s Fellows Program will move into new living and work space in the transformed Elms Carriage House. Another signal accomplishment under the Strategic Plan is the completion of museum-quality exhibition space at Rosecliff, with two exhibitions already mounted – Newport and Her Southern Sisters in 2015 and Splendor at Sea: The Golden Age of Steam Yachting in America, which just opened.

During Don’s time on the Board, the exteriors of The Breakers and Chateau-sur-Mer were restored, The Breakers boiler room is being rehabilitated and a new tour planned, The Elms roof was replaced and the Marble House terrace was renovated. He celebrated the complex restoration of the magnificent gates at The Breakers as part of ongoing efforts to preserve and showcase the Preservation Society’s flagship property. He presided over the return of the 13 six Venetian overdoor paintings in The Elms, reuniting the largest collection of 18th century Venetian paintings in America after a 50-year separation.

Don guided the establishment of the International Council, individuals with an incomparable passion for arts and culture who serve as our global ambassadors. And his firm hand and calm guidance during The Breakers Welcome Center permitting process has been invaluable.

A long-time resident, Don is dedicated to Newport and Rhode Island. He has served on the boards of Bryant University, the International Tennis Hall of Fame, the Providence Preservation Society and Newport Hospital. He has built an impressive career in finance and management. Don and his wonderful wife, Susan, raised their family here and are now introducing their grandchildren to Newport. Living across the street from the Preservation Society’s headquarters, Don will never be far away, and we will always be grateful.

With 14 museum properties, 88 acres of gardens and over 60,000 objects, The Preservation Society of Newport County’s collections are valued at more than $1 billion. Its 34,000 members and 960,000 visitors celebrated its 70th anniversary last year. Its museums are accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and its landscapes by the Morton Arboretum. In 2013, the Preservation Society was selected to present the Loan Exhibition at the prestigious Winter Antiques Show in New York City.

The Board of Trustees of The Preservation Society of Newport County is honored and pleased to award Donald O. Ross the Antiquarian Award, our highest organizational honor.
