She has been a North Country resident for more than 40 years and is very active in the community serving as President of the area's only land trust, Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust, and Treasurer of Ammonoosuc Community Health Services, a federally qualified community health center. She is a founding member and past president of the areas only affordable housing organization, Affordable Housing Education and Development, Inc (AHEAD).

For the past seven years she has been engaged fulltime in the facilitation of Section 1031 Real Estate and Personal Property Exchanges.

"Having always had an interest in historic homes and buildings, I am excited to be a part of the Preservation Alliance.  I look forward to the opportunity help this organization expand and develop its initiatives," remarked Davidson. Like the North County job, this new full-time position reflects an increased investment by the Preservation Alliance made possible through continuing investment of individuals, businesses and foundations.
