Historian, businesswoman, investor, developer, and philanthropist. Colonel Jennifer Pritzker has led an amazing life. A retired Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S. Army for nearly three decades, Col. Pritzker served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and the Illinois Army National Guard. Today, her legacy of service continues in her philanthropic investments across the nation in heritage, veterans’ issues and beyond. On Today’s PreserveCast we’re talking with a legend of preservation philanthropy. Learn more about Pritzker’s work at: www.tawanifoundation.org.

The Pritzker name is synonymous with preservation and military history and we have been very fortunate at Preservation Maryland to enjoy the Pritzker Military Foundation’s support of our historic trades’ workforce development program, which helps train recent veterans. Knowing this, I’ve always wanted to have a conversation with Colonel Pritzker and learn more about her story. Today’s podcast captures that conversation and explores the rest of the story of one of America’s most unique philanthropists.
