Joshua David, co-founder of Friends of the High Line, will take over as president of the World Monuments Fund in November.
Joshua David, who co-founded an organization that helped create the High Line, a park built along abandoned elevated train tracks in New York, has been named to lead World Monuments Fund, an organization dedicated to preserving architectural and cultural landmarks around the world. He starts in November and will be only the third president in the 50-year-old charity’s history, replacing Bonnie Burnham, who is retiring after 30 years at the helm.
As president of Friends of the High Line, Mr. David helped build public support and raise money for the park, which opened in sections from 2009 to 2014 and now sees 6.2 million visitors annually.
Mr. David and his co-founder, Robert Hammond, began work on the High Line Project in 1999. The many years spent working with architects and preservationists made Mr. David a strong candidate for his new job, said Ms. Burnham in a statement. “Josh’s ability to marry collaborative restoration with community engagement makes him an excellent choice to lead World Monuments Fund into the 21st century,” she said.
