Legacy: Preservation Luminary

Jessica McGee

SOHO salutes Jessica McGee for her nearly two decades of philanthropy, generously volunteering her professional experience in accounting and human resources, and as SOHO’s long-time treasurer as a board member. A regular presence in the SOHO office for 14 of these years, her fastidious financial oversight was crucial during the organization’s years of major growth. Her steadfast monitoring of the numbers and meticulous attention to detail have contributed significantly to SOHO‘s financial stability, and a 24-year record of perfect and profitable finances, allowing us to successfully execute and expand our preservation advocacy, museum operations, revolving fund programs, and a myriad of educational projects and programs. Her reliable accounting expertise and vigilance have empowered SOHO to successfully carry out complex advocacy and legal and educational campaigns. In addition, her insights, guidance, and passion have helped shape SOHO’s strategies, decision-making processes, and human resources policies. Jessica’s advocacy work finds her everywhere from the office to the board room, from public testimony to the protest lines. Meanwhile, she has also managed to carefully restore and maintain her historic home in the Normal Heights neighborhood and become a master gardener a who is able to advise SOHO on our museum’s gardens. For SOHO, Jessica McGee’s extraordinary commitment and professionalism have significantly advanced our mission and impact, during good times and challenging pandemic times, making for a stellar legacy.
