Historic Preservation Report
with Kathleen Slesnick Kaufman
Kathleen Slesnick Kauffman was born and raised right here in Coral Gables, FL.
She received a bachelor's degree in Historic Preservation from Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia and her master's degree in Historic Preservation from the University of Florida.
She started her preservation career at the Bureau of Historic Preservation, Department of State in Tallahassee where she was a Historic Sites Specialist and a Florida Main Street Coordinator. She then became the first Historic Preservation Officer for the Town of Lake Park, FL and subsequently became the first Historic Preservation Officer for the City of Fort Pierce, FL. She then spent three years back in Tallahassee as the Executive Director for the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. She was happy to get the chance to come back home to work as the Historic Preservation Officer for the City of Miami. For almost four years now, she has served as the Historic Preservation Chief for Miami-Dade County.
Kathleen is passionate about serving the community in a volunteer capacity. She is the immediate past president of the Junior League of Miami's Headquarters and is a Sustaining Member of The Villagers, Inc. She is currently serving as Chair for the Junior Orange Bowl Parade.
Her husband Lamar is a teacher at St. Philip's Episcopal School and has two daughters, Olivia, 5 and Julia, 2.
Kathleen will be giving us an update on local historic preservation projects that she and her team at the county are working on.
