  *   Provide a framework for statewide partners and service organizations to align their programs to help heritage organizations work towards these goals.
  *   Provide a framework and support for local heritage organizations in prioritizing and planning projects and processes and getting support from partners, stakeholders, grant makers, and decision makers.
