Following the planned retirement of Preservation Worcester’s long-time executive director, the historic preservation nonprofit has named Patrick Maloney as its incoming leader.

Maloney will assume his new role by the end of July, replacing Deborah Packard, who has held the executive position for the last 21 years.

Maloney has served on Preservation Worcester’s board of directors and as chair of the organization’s Most Endangered Structures Committee, according to a Wednesday letter sent to the nonprofit community from Stuart Sadick, president of Preservation Worcester’s board of directors.

With more than 20 years of nonprofit experience, Maloney has previously held leadership roles at a number of Central Massachusetts institutions, including serving as director of leadership giving and strategic initiatives at Saint John's High School in Shrewsbury, as president of Nativity School of Worcester, and as senior associate director of annual giving at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Maloney was named one of WBJ’s 40 Under Forty in 2015. 

“Pat has consistently contributed to organizational success through strategic planning, donor cultivation, and comprehensive fundraising initiatives,” Sadick wrote. “His career demonstrates exceptional expertise in institutional growth, capacity building, and development.”

Maloney earned his bachelor’s degree in history from College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, according to his LinkedIn profile. 

“I am confident that we have an exciting and promising next chapter ahead under Pat's leadership,” Sadick wrote. “I also extend my sincere thanks to Deborah Packard for her outstanding contributions over the past 21 years at Preservation Worcester. She has admirably led this organization during her tenure and has achieved many accomplishments for which we are all grateful.”

Established in 1969, Preservation Worcester works to protect and maintain the city’s historical structures, including Mechanics Hall and Union Station, according to the nonprofit’s website. 

In 2023, Preservation Worcester generated $337,412 in revenue and held $2.7 million in assets, according to nonprofit financial tracker GuideStar.
