The Arizona Preservation Foundation, Arizona State Historic Preservation
Office, Arizona Department of Commerce’s Main Street Program, and the City of Flagstaff invite you to join them at the 8th Annual Historic Preservation
Partnership Conference. This year’s conference, ”New Frontiers in Preservation,” is being held in Flagstaff, May 13th-14th, 2010.

The goal of the Conference is to bring together preservationists from around the state to exchange ideas and success stories, to share perspectives and solutions to preservation issues and to foster cooperation between the diverse Arizona preservation communities. With the advent of new construction materials and building technologies, the preservation community needs to change with the times and find new ways to integrate the old with the new. It is this integration that constantly transforms the interpretation of the Standards and sets new policies for working in today’s changing world. Through community outreach and participation with preservation partners, everyone can have an equal voice in setting the standards for the future of preservation.

The Preservation Awards Luncheon will be the focal event of the Conference.
The 28th Annual Governor’s Heritage Preservation Honor Awards are presented at the luncheon. These awards, presented by the State Historic Preservation Office and the Arizona Preservation Foundation, recognize people, organizations, and projects that represent outstanding achievements in preserving Arizona’s prehistoric and historic resources. The Governor’s Awards in Public Archaeology are also presented at the luncheon. These awards, selected by the Governor’s Archaeology Advisory Commission, recognize excellence in archaeological awareness, conservation and education. The awards make the conference more than a venue to learn, debate and network, but also a celebration of outstanding historic preservation efforts and achievements. With the approach of the State’s Centennial in 2012, the need to reflect on our collective past and plan for the future is apparent. I hope that you can join us to address specific historic preservation issues that affect our fragile resources, as well as the future preservation of Arizona’s unique heritage.

Sincerely,
James Garrison
Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer
