With traditional, in-person public meetings on hold for the foreseeable future, local preservation commissions and advocates are exploring new ways to conduct their work and engage community members. To inform these efforts, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) are partnering on a two-part webinar series on how to plan and implement effective virtual public meetings. Part 1 of the series will focus on the legal issues involved in adapting local preservation commission activities to the crisis. Part 2: Learning from the Field (scheduled for early June, details to follow) will include results from a NAPC survey of members, examples from local practitioners, and lessons learned to date that can be applied now and in the future.

Speakers:
Cory Kegerise, Chair, National Alliance of Preservation Commissions and Community Preservation Coordinator at the Pennsylvania SHPO
Sara Bronin, National Trust Advisor and Law Professor
Anne Nelson, Associate General Counsel, National Trust for Historic Preservation
