Annual Meeting 2023
May 6, 2023
The Lafayette Club, Wayzata
Spring finally arrived in Minnesota just in time for our annual meeting, where we welcomed special guest Carol Cadou, Executive Director of NSCDA and the Dumbarton House Museum. Dame Barbara Burwell graciously arranged for the Dames to meet at the Lafayette Club in Wayzata, where we gathered to hear engaging and lively reports from our officers and chairs, to enjoy each other’s company, and to hear from Carol about the history of women in historic preservation in America. We enjoyed the opportunity to interact, and look forward to next year’s programs. Materials for the business portion of the meeting are available here.
