SPEAKERS
John Bullard, current President of the Board of the New Bedford Ocean Cluster, worked for 12 years leading the effort to revitalize the waterfront historic district of New Bedford. His dedication to this restored city led him to write his recently released book Hometown. In 2018, he retired as Regional Administrator for NOAA Fisheries where he was responsible for the management of all living marine resources in federal waters from Maine to Cape Hatteras. John ran NOAA’s Office of Sustainable Development for the Clinton Administration in Washington after serving as Mayor of New Bedford from 1986-1992. John is on the Board of the Buzzards Bay Coalition, the Westport Planning Board and is a co-founder of The New Bedford Light. He has a degree from Harvard and advanced degrees from MIT.
Gary Sachau, Architectural Historian, with a M.S. in Historic Preservation from Columbia University, dedicated his expertise to the National Park Service/Technical Preservation Services, Delaware State Historic Preservation, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation during the bulk of his career. Look forward to him answering this question: Why is it important to save historic buildings on Cape Cod? As Joni Mitchell sang in Big Yellow Taxi, “They paved paradise, put up a parking lot. Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.” Truer words were never spoken! Gary will explore the benefits of saving historic places and what happens when you don’t, using examples from Yarmouth, the town in which I live.
Stephen Tilly, principal of his architectural firm graduated from M.I.T with a Master of Architecture, following a BA (English Literature) from Grinnell College. After working in Boston, Washington and New York, he became a partner in Design Coalition, a firm that helped pioneer New York's historic Soho district in the 1970s and 1980s. With Elizabeth Martin, Mr. Tilly founded a mission-based studio in Dobbs Ferry focused on delivering high end design, especially targeting socially useful projects. The work since reflects a broad range of interests including affordable housing, historic preservation, low-impact environmental design and community planning. He has served on local land use committees and boards and is the Chair of the Advisory Board of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Lyndhurst Historic Site. For the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Association for Preservation Technology, he has spoken and written on the essential connection between preservation and sustainability. “Our related principal focus is adaptive reuse, rehabilitation and preservation.”
