The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) mission of helping to build strong local preservation programs and leaders through education, training and advocacy is the driving force behind FORUM, the only national conference focused on the issues facing local historic preservation boards and commissions. FORUM includes dozens of educational sessions and discussion panels, mobile workshops and tours, and five days of non-stop networking for historic preservation commissioners, staff and volunteers representing local, state and national organizations and government agencies.
FORUM sessions aim to facilitate thoughtful conversations about how we can positively leverage the power of historic places to do good for people and communities.
