FORUM 2014 Steering Committee Cory Kegerise, PHMC, Co-Chair
of the presenting partners, we’re so glad you chose to spend a few days with us in Philadelphia, learning, networking, and enjoying this beautiful historic city. This year’s event is an exciting milestone for us as we welcome record attendance, an astounding roster of sponsors and partners, and an impressive array of speakers and tour leaders. But most importantly, we’re proud of the partnership forged between NAPC’s biennial FORUM and the Pennsylvania Statewide Conference on Heritage. Whether you’re a long-time attendee of one of these events or are participating for the first time, we’re
confident that you will find something on the program that will be useful and memorable when you return home. The theme of this year’s conference is “A Keystone Connection” and the
program, attendance, sponsors, and location embody the spirit of collaboration and connectivity that the presenting partners were aiming for when this event was conceived. The work of historic preservation and cultural resource management is both rewarding and complex and increasingly requires practitioners, both professional and volunteer, to be familiar with rapidly evolving methods, laws, and best practices. We believe that we’ve successfully balanced the needs and interests of a broad cross section of the preservation community with this year’s program and hope you agree. We’re especially thankful for the support shown by our various public and private sponsors, our local partners and host committee, the numerous volunteers, and most of all – you! Thank you for making
the time so be here and please enjoy your stay in the City of Brotherly Love.
