Under Richard Moe's direction, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has become much more than a guardian of the nation's architectural treasures. Carter Wilkie is a longtime preservationist and former White House speechwriter. Moe also guided the trust in its effort to preserve historic structures and sites in New Orleans, Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina. He battled Tom DeLay and the Disney Corporation, among others, in his quest to save America's leading historical sites, such as Manassas battlefield. Moe led the National Trust for Historic Preservation for over sixteen years (1993-2009), and succeeded at expanding its budget despite funding reductions from Congress. Moe also worked on Dick Gephardt's presidential bid (1988) and Michael Dukakis' presidential campaign (1988).
He later served as Mondale's presidential campaign team in 1984. In 1977, Moe served as Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States during Walter Mondale's term. Following his graduation from Williams College (1959) and the University of Minnesota Law School (1966), Moe went on to a distinguished career in government, law, and historic preservation.
