Board of Directors

Alton and his wife moved to Georgetown's historic district in June 2020. He is a retired consultant and businessman.  He founded Trusource Labs which, in 2016, was named the fastest growing business in Central Texas.  He grew up in Charlottesville VA, and gained a keen appreciation for local history and the importance of  continuing the good works of organizations like Preservation Georgetown.​​​​​​

Ben and his family originally came to Georgetown in 1977. They built their house in Old Town, just two blocks from Southwestern University where he served as Academic Dean and Provost for twelve years. He later went on to serve as President of Hiram College in Hiram, Ohio. Upon retiring in 2000 he returned to his Old Town home and ended up serving on City Council from 2004 to 2010 as well as serving on the boards of Georgetown’s Economic Development and Transportation Enhancement Corporations.

Jerry became a Georgetown resident in 2016 following a 26-year Air Force career and 22 years as a realtor in Austin. He moved into a home on Church Street in Old Town, converting it from a commercial office back to a residence. The work continues. He has been active with Preservation Georgetown since 2017.

Bob retired from Dell Technologies after 25 years of service and has spent the last five years overseeing the restoration of two historic homes in Old Town. Prior to moving to Georgetown, he worked with the Austin Historical Society and the Pease Park Conservancy. His connection to this great town runs deep. His great-grandparents were Swedish immigrant farmers who settled Georgetown in the late 1800s and were early members of the St. John Methodist Church.

Stacy recently moved to the Old Town neighborhood after living and working as an Interior Designer in Austin for over twenty years.  She is active in the community, serving in numerous professional and non-profit organizations.   Stacy is a Sustaining Member of The Junior League of Austin, 2023 President of CREW Austin, and has also been appointed to the city of Georgetown Arts and Culture Advisory Board.

Tiffany Carter is a passionate community builder, creative visionary, and advocate for preserving Georgetown’s history. With a background in branding, event coordination, and digital storytelling, she brings a fresh, modern voice to local history and small business promotion. She previously led social media strategy for the Downtown Georgetown Association and now serves on the board of Preservation Georgetown, where she’s excited to share her gifts and talents—including social media efforts—to help reintroduce the organization to the public, engage all generations, and highlight the value of preservation through accessible, inspiring content. Whether she’s crafting a caption, managing social media for community events, or actively supporting downtown programs, Tiffany brings energy, empathy, and excellence to everything she touches—and she believes in the power of storytelling to preserve the past, connect the present, and shape a hopeful future.

Kim has been in the real estate related industry for over 25 years and loves the architecture of beautiful vintage homes.  She is excited to be part of Preservation Georgetown and looks forward to working with her fellow board members to uphold the legacy of Georgetown’s historic homes and buildings and share that historical significance with our wonderful community.  

Carla has been a dedicated member of Preservation Georgetown for many years and brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, and hands-on perspective to the organization. Many in the community know her passion for historic homes and her commitment to protecting the character that makes Georgetown special.

Carla often says she “saves” old houses. That passion began early. Growing up with a father who was a custom home builder and a mother known for her deep knowledge of family and town history, Carla developed a lifelong appreciation for the stories embedded in historic structures.

Through renovating multiple historic homes, both locally and beyond, she has gained a deep respect for the craftsmanship, purposeful architecture, and materials used by earlier generations. For Carla, every historic home holds stories waiting to be discovered. Stories that can only survive if the buildings themselves are preserved.

She also recognizes the broader role these structures play in shaping Georgetown’s identity. Our historic homes and buildings help preserve the legacy of the city and contribute to its reputation as Georgetown Square is often called “The Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas.”

As Carla once wrote in a letter opposing the demolition of a historic home tied to Georgetown’s early history:

“Demolishing homes like this for which our town is known and cherished not only destroys Georgetown's history, it threatens our future.”

Her passion for protecting Georgetown’s history, neighborhoods, and architectural heritage makes her a powerful voice for preservation.

Many in our community already know Lawrence—not only from his previous time serving on the Preservation Georgetown board, but also from the many volunteer roles he has taken on throughout Georgetown. His dedication to the community and to historic preservation has made a lasting impact across our city.

Growing up in San Antonio, Lawrence developed a strong appreciation for the importance of protecting historic places and honoring the craftsmanship and character that make them special.

In Lawrence’s words:
"Growing up in San Antonio I have always been taught and believe protecting and maintaining historic structures by keeping their original material, features, and overall appearance intact—focusing on repair, upkeep, and minimal replacement to retain the building's historical character and integrity for future generations, while also allowing for adaptation to modern uses."

Growing up in a historic home, Tessa developed a deep appreciation for the stories and memories that live within older houses. That early connection to history shaped her love for communities where architecture, heritage, and people are woven together.

Tessa is Mrs. Texas International 2024 and a Top Finalist at Mrs. International, as well as an entrepreneur and top-producing real estate professional with Ryan Smith Home Selling Team. She also serves as the Williamson County Fair & Rodeo Queen Coordinator, where she mentors young women in leadership, confidence, and personal growth. Her work reflects her passion for community involvement, faith, and encouraging others to pursue their goals with resilience and purpose.

In her words:
"Growing up in a historic home, I have always felt connected to the memories of the past and the importance of preservation. I love Georgetown and want to serve my community by supporting Preservation Georgetown’s mission to protect our historic neighborhoods, landmarks, and the unique identity of our city."
