NTCA’s TileLetter Editor Lesley Goddin joins Tile Heritage Foundation Board of Directors
Lesley Goddin, editorial director and senior writer for NTCA’s TileLetter and TileLetter ARTISAN edition, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Tile Heritage Foundation (THF). This decision, made unanimously during the summer 2023 meeting, aligns seamlessly with Goddin's extensive experience and dedication to the tile industry.
Goddin assumes the position following the retirement of Riley Doty from Doty Tile in Oakland, who served THF for two decades. Doty remarked about Goddin’s appointment, "When I announced that I needed to retire from the board, I was fighting regrets that I would be letting THF down. Instead, look at what has transpired! My departure put the matter of board membership on the front burner and led to this result. I couldn't ask for a better outcome!" In an invitation letter, THF President Joseph A. Taylor praised Goddin's unwavering support for both the industry and Tile Heritage, emphasizing her notable focus on the history and artistic aspects of the craft, particularly evident in her role as the editor of TileLetter ARTISAN.
