i <br /> T•k � �. i _ I —••� �� re r <br /> Dear Commissioners, Staff and Local Preservation Supporters: <br /> I am proud to offer to America the second national <br /> gathering of local preservation commissions. <br /> The first FORUM was in Denver in 1998 and over 500 local <br /> commissioners, staff and state Certified Local Government <br /> Coordinators met and produced what has become known as the <br /> "Local Government Manifesto." The mandate from those in <br /> attendance was that the FORUM should be repeated i6 two years <br /> and commission training should become a regular and ongoing <br /> function of the National Preservation Partners. We were <br /> listening! The sponsors of this FORUM and I would like to <br /> invite you to FORUM 2000 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. <br /> This FORUM will prove to be as innovative and educational as <br /> the Denver event. We have added tours, social events and <br /> resource material that will augment the highly praised group <br /> participation format of the meeting. Just as in Denver,we will <br /> have panel presentations that will be followed by facilitated <br /> discussions to produce a set of findings. These findings will be <br /> shared with all the participants in a series of plenary sessions. All <br /> of the sessions findings will then be reported in a document to <br /> help further the goals put forth in the"Local Government <br /> o <br /> Manifesto" from Denver. <br /> Please come and join us in Pittsburgh. <br /> Christopher Bowers <br /> Chainnan <br /> National Alliance of Preservation Commissions <br />
