[MassHistPres] Preservation Massachusetts: Cruising the Commonwealth Listening Tour

[Erin Kelly]

Good Morning,


Preservation Massachusetts is introducing our "Cruising the  Commonwealth"
listening tour this summer.   *Cruising the Commonwealth* is a series of
8-9 meetings across the state, hearing directly from local partners,
organizations and individuals about issues, needs, thoughts, challenges,
wishes, successes and ideas for the future related to historic
preservation.  We want to hear how you envision a statewide organization
serving you better, what programs would be helpful, what you really need to
make preservation possible in your communities. We are looking for hear not
only from those involved with preservation, but other groups whose work
intersects or correlates with preservation activity statewide, or anyone
who is interested but would not necessarily call themselves
"preservationists".  We are prepared to do a whole lot of listening and
note taking!


After our summer meetings and *a session at the 2017 Massachusetts Historic
Preservation Conference,* we will take what we have learned and highlight
several key priority issues for the entire statewide preservation community
and other key partners to focus on as collective.  Working together can
ultimately help us strengthen our community and expand it as the
preservation movement itself grows and changes over the next several years.
  This information will be presented at PM's 2017 Annual Meeting later this
fall.



We encourage you to join us as we are "Cruising the Commonwealth" this
summer and let your voice be heard. *If you are not able to attend, fear
not. *We will have an online survey available for those who still wish to
share their thoughts and ideas.



So mark your calendars and we'll see you on the road this summer!
