The Tennessee Preservation Trust has had professionally-trained staff since Patrick McIntyre joined TPT as the first executive director in July of 2002.   In August, 2003, the Center for Historic Preservation at MTSU established a collaborative assistantship program with TPT, and graduate student David Price served as staff intern for the 2003-2004 academic year. Bud Alley, a master's candidate in the public history program at MTSU, began his internship from the Center to TPT in January 2006.  In July 2007, Dan Brown became TPT's second executive director.  Paul Hoffman, another master's candidate in the public history program at MTSU joined TPT and oversees TPT's project at Durham's Chapel. Cathleen Collett, after receiving her Masters in History with a concentration in Historic Preservation from UNC-Greensboro, began working with TPT in February 2011.


Since its inception, TPT has focused on maintaining a strong and diverse board of directors.  TPT's board represents the cultural and geographic diversity of the state.  Its members come from large cities and small towns, and from a variety of professions and perspectives that bring a wealth of talent and experience to the organization.   Members of the board of directors have been involved in a wide range of local, regional, and national preservation efforts.
