“I don’t know how a professional could be on the cutting edge of historic preservation and not be a Forum member.
There simply is no other place to get this information.”
—Donovan Rypkema, Principal, PlaceEconomics, Washington, D.C.
“As a solo practitioner, I absolutely rely on the Forum-L listserve for information and thoughtful discussion of
up-to-the-minute issues."
—Jean A. Follett, Historic Preservation Consulting, Hinsdale, Illinois
“As a preservation commission member in a small rural town, I find the National Trust Forum program and
Forum-L listserve are wonderfully helpful.”
—Charles Styer, Historic Preservation Commission, Tifton, Georgia
“With Forum, I am not alone doing my job. I have
learned so much from others working in preservation. The feedback
is extremely valuable.”
—Janet Davis, Frederick County Planning Department, Maryland
“I use Forum’s online research tools on a regular basis– at least weekly. Forum is useful for organizations of every size.”
—Julianne Fletcher, Executive Director, Preservation Texas, Inc., Austin, Texas
"I get five main benefits from following Forum-L. First,
I learn a lot. Second, I find it useful to observe what the hot
topics are. Third, it's good to be able to correct misconceptions and misinformation.
Fourth, sometimes I am in a
position to help someone solve a problem. Finally, I have
used Forum-L to help get the word out about useful
publications or programs."
—John Renaud, Historian, Washington, D.C.
"Forum is aptly named
. . . the on-line email listserv helps build a sense of community among members,
and the
entire membership program is all about sharing information and gaining
insight from fellow preservationists.
Discounted rates for the National Preservation
Conference, publications, and subscriptions more than compensate
for the cost of Forum
membership and open a breathtaking array
of opportunities to learn from others. Forum
helps thinking people build
better communities for the future."
—Dan Becker, Executive Director, Raleigh Historic Districts Commission, North Carolina
"As an architect in
the field of preservation for over 25 years, Forum membership has become an
integral part of
my work. Through the network of over 4,000 professional and
volunteer preservationists, I am able to keep
abreast of essential information
ranging from policy-making breakthroughs to conferences to funding
opportunities
for my clients. Both the quarterly Forum Journal and the bimonthly Forum News
have become
my 'first check' resource when researching solutions to a specific
preservation issue."
—Bruce D. Judd, Architectural Resources Group, San Francisco, California
"The Forum-L listserve
is particularly valuable in my work as senior heritage planner with the City
of Calgary.
I have saved many of the comments and suggestions that are relevant
to my work here. I would encourage other
Canadian heritage professionals to
join the National Trust Forum."
—Darryl Cariou, Senior Heritage Planner, City of Calgary, Canada
