Who We Are

The 2025 program, produced by an all-volunteer Board will benefit the Preservation Society of Charleston. Founded in 1920, the Preservation Society is the oldest grassroots preservation advocacy organization in the United States and serves as a national model.

With the support of our sponsors and loyal patrons since 2012, the Symposium has donated over $420,000 to the Society’s important mission and initiatives which are dedicated to preserving Charleston’s distinct character, quality of life, and diverse neighborhoods through best practices in historic preservation and thoughtful urbanism.
