Save Venice’s Conservation Patron Council is an international network of ambassadors who share our mission with friends and local networks through regional events, advocacy, and philanthropy. With representatives across 11 U.S. cities and in London, U.K., the Council brings together supporters in a shared commitment to preserving Venice’s artistic heritage.

We are pleased to welcome two new representatives in 2026:

• Michele Levbarg-Klein Rayden, President of the Young Friends Steering Committee and a longtime supporter, representing Palm Beach.
• Patricia Nagy Olsen representing San Francisco, following the tenure of Sunnie Evers. The next San Francisco gathering will be in June and feature a curator-led tour of the exhibition Drawn to Venice at the Legion of Honor. Request an invitation.
