Best Practices for an Effective Local Preservation Commission

About This Webinar

Each local preservation program – as well as the commission entrusted with its implementation – is slightly different in the way they function. Program operations depend on many variables: community size, commission empowerment, historic resources, leadership and support staff, citizen engagement, preservation partners, etc. Effective commission operation is, and must be, a dynamic process, both attuned to community needs and an evolving preservation practice. Even so, there is a shared baseline for preservation commission efficacy. Every commission can measure success in pursuit of aspirational goals when built upon a strong foundation. Join NAPC CAMP trainers Monica Callahan and Ken Kocher for a pragmatic review of commission operation and best practice techniques for new commission consideration and mature commission reflection. Let’s find our common strengths to build the foundation of a strong, effective preservation commission.
