The Hill | The Hill’s Changemakers - Sheila Johnson, Salamander Hotels & Resorts CEO and philanthropist

The Hill featured the Trust for the National Mall’s Vice Chair of the Board of Directors Sheila Johson as a “Hill Changemaker.” Sheila Johnson discussed how her career has allowed her to explore a wide breadth of opportunities, such as the rebuilt U.S. Park Police Horse Stables and Education Center.

As Project Chair, Sheila Johnson was instrumental in spearheading the creation of the sustainable and newly rebuilt facility on the National Mall.


“The stables on the National Mall, which opened to the public in June and include an educational center, are home to the horses used by the U.S. Park Police. The new horse-centric digs, funded by private donations, replaced the original stables that were built in 1976.

“Horses are as important to America’s history as any living creature, including man,” Johnson said at a Trust for the National Mall gala earlier this year.”
