Christine Rupp has been the Executive Director at Dade Heritage Trust since 2015. With the goal of creating meaningful community partnerships to further the mission on the organization, Rupp has created a new educational program, funded architectural/preservation-based surveys of Miami's unique and diverse neighborhoods, developed a tour program in an effort to build awareness about Miami's historic assets, and taken the organization into the affordable housing realm with the purchase of a 1938 Art Deco apartment building in Little Havana to preserve naturally occurring affordable housing.
