I GIVE TO PARTNERS because I am committed to repair , restoration , and healing through historic preservation .”— Rosa Lowinger

When Rosa Lowinger is not actively serving as a member of Partners ’ Board of Directors , she might be working for RLA Conservation of Art & Architecture ( a firm she founded ), teaching , writing , or offering the occasional guided tour in Cuba .
Reflecting on why she gives to Partners , and invests her time as a member of the Board , Rosa said , “ My faith entreats us to devote ourselves to tikkun olam — repair of the world through acts of kindness , generosity , and simple healing . For me , a longtime conservator of public monuments , works of art , and the fabric of historic buildings , this takes the form of maintaining places of sacred contemplation and personal reflection , and especially helping communities continue to have access to heritage locales that define them . I have spent a long career working on sacred places that range from archeological synagogue mosaics to Buddhist monuments , holocaust memorials , Catholic cathedrals ravaged by fire , and Episcopal cathedrals destroyed by earthquakes . In all of these places and sites , the shared human desire for connection and reaching for our best selves can be found . That ’ s why I give and why I so value the work of Partners .”
