Guest speaker Nora Fleming Lee, CEO of Coastal Heritage Society (CHS). She will enlighten us about CHS’s invaluable work in our community, particularly its role in preserving our local history and heritage. Lee will focus on CHS’s work with the cannons recovered from the Savannah River during the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP) and its involvement with future maritime projects to help preserve historic artifacts.
Nora Fleming Lee began her work with Coastal Heritage Society in 2006 as the Site Administrator of Georgia State Railroad Museum, overseeing daily operations, booking and managing group programs and corporate events, and collaborating with CHS’ Preservation Team on several capital projects to save and restore the historic site. Her role expanded in 2010 to the Sites Administrator of Tricentennial Park, and in 2015, she was appointed Chief Operations Officer. Lee helped manage the expansion of CHS’ scope and operations with the additions of Savannah Children’s Museum, Pin Point Heritage Museum, and Harper Fowlkes House. Lee is a native of Savannah and attended St. Vincent’s Academy, where she volunteered and developed a passion for service with the Sisters of Mercy.
