Translating Your Skills: Time, Talent, and Treasure

About This Webinar

Discover how your skills in ā€œeveryday lifeā€ can prepare you for your role as a local preservation commissioner. Many people donā€™t realize that they have skills and talents that can help them be better commissioners and help their preservation program to grow and thrive. Often we possess skills that we didnā€™t realize. Have you ever organized an event, served on a committee for school, church or your neighborhood, held a garage sale or bake sale, written the neighborhood newsletterā€”all of these activities use time and talent needed for serving on the preservation commission and helping staff and your community achieve its preservation goals.
