<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The power of heritage has never before been made so clear as it has in recent times. In 2020 we had planned to inspire heritage organizations at the conference, to help you realize and enact your organization’s
power within your communities. Instead, you blew us away with your proactive actions, your steadfastness, and most of all, your resilience. From proactive collecting for historic events, providing information about similar historic events, responding to civil
unrest, saving historic sites from fires, to just surviving financial uncertainty. You harnessed the power, now let’s embrace it and multiply it. Join us in 2022 as we explore ways in which heritage preservation empowers communities, uncovers untold stories,
preserves history in the making, creatively engages audiences, and proves its value.
