  • By: National Trust for Historic Preservation

We're pleased to share that National Trust Board of Trustees member Susan E. Chapman is one of theGrio's 100, an annual list that shines a light on African-American history makers and industry leaders in a variety of fields who foster change locally and nationally.

Ms. Chapman, who is Senior Vice President, Global Real Estate and Workplace Enablement for American Express in New York, oversees global real estate operations supporting the American Express portfolio of over 65,000 employees in 41 countries. In addition to serving as one of our trustees, she also volunteers on the boards of the Executive Leadership Foundation, Leadership Education and Development (LEAD), and the NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate Advisory Board.

As her listing on theGrio shares, Ms. Chapman is focused on "driving innovation in built environments" and applies her expertise "in solving challenges in low income housing and in preserving sites that help communities to thrive."

We're proud to count her within the preservation movement. Congratulations Susan!
