White House names all-new set of leaders to the Presidio Trust

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The White House has named an all-new set of leaders to the Presidio Trust board of directors. It comes about a month after President Donald Trump fired the previous board.

The group oversees the national park site.

The new board features big names in tech, finance, and real estate... many with connections to the president.

It includes Time Magazine co-chair Lynne Benioff, who previously served as board chair.

This all comes as the park enters its busy summer season, with a full lineup of events and festivals on tap.

"Absolutely not, that's all programmed, and we are really pleased to welcome the new board. it will be wonderful to have their new leadership, stewarding us to the next chapter and we look forward to showing them all the great things there are to do in the park and getting them on board," said Presidio Trust spokesperson Lisa Petrie.

From dance and live music to cultural celebrations, activities are happening all summer long at Tunnel Tops Park and the Main Post.
