New for 2023 CPI will be introducing an annual award in honor of preservation champion and past CPI Executive Director (2002-2008), Mark Rodman. Under Mark’s direction, CPI established a partnership with CBS4 to tell the stories of Colorado’s Endangered Places, undertook a survey of New Deal Resources on the plains of Colorado, and helped develop a heritage tourism program that included historic and archeological cultural resource surveys in southeastern Colorado. Mark steered the organization in the purchase of Hayden Ranch and in saving the Mathews-Gotthelf building on Champa Street in Denver. Under his leadership, CPI was presented with the Trustee’s Award for Organizational Excellence from the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2006. These milestones acknowledge just a fraction of his accomplishments with the organization.
Mark’s impact and legacy extends beyond his time with CPI. He became the Director of Preservation Programs and the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer with History Colorado as well as served as the Executive Director for the Michigan Historic Preservation Network before becoming Michigan’s State Historic Preservation Officer in 2021.
CPI will be honoring Mark’s lasting legacy as well as his support of individual leaders with the annual Mark Rodman Community Leader Award.
The inaugural award for 2023 will recognize Abbey Christman
