Preservation Action is excited to host the Historic Preservation Month Congressional Briefing on May 11th at 12pm. The briefing will be held in 2045 Rayburn House Office Building.
Every year, coinciding with National Historic Preservation Month in May, Preservation Action hosts the Preservation Month Congressional Briefing. We work in cooperation with the Historic Preservation Congressional Caucus and leading national historic preservation organizations to help educate congressional staff on federal preservation program and key legislative issues impacting historic preservation.
This year’s briefing will feature a panel of experts to discuss the important role historic preservation plays in creating affordable housing, stimulating economic development, facilitating efficiency while continuing to balance history with progress. We are especially excited to be joined by speakers from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, National Trust Community Investment Corporation, Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and PlaceEconomics.
Help us spread the word! If you have a personal contact in your Representative or Senators’ office (especially if you just met during Advocacy Week), contact that person directly, share our briefing flyer, and ask them to attend the Preservation Month Congressional Briefing on May 11th and share the invite with affordable housing, economic development and permitting efficiency staff in their office.
If you need any help finding staff contacts, feel free to reach out to Rob Naylor at Preservation Action (rnaylor@preservationaction.org). We’ve also put together sample invite below:
