<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>2023 Oregon Heritage VIRTUAL Summit<br>
<i>Investing in Your Volunteers: Engage, Sustain, Value</i><br>
April 27-28, 2023<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">A report released by the Oregon Heritage Commission in 2020 demonstrates that the work volunteers do within heritage organizations is indispensable to the preservation of Oregon’s heritage. In fact, most heritage
organizations are operated primarily by volunteers. The world clearly saw the impact the pandemic had on volunteer programs across the nonprofit field and building back these critical stakeholder groups is key to continuing to carry out the mission of heritage
organizations across the state. Join us April 27-28 as have facilitated conversation around community engagement and how that impacts volunteer strategies, panel discussions hearing from fellow volunteer managers and volunteers, and a practical workshop to
help you engage, retain, and value volunteers in a way that impacts both the volunteer and the organization in meaningful ways. The entire Summit is virtual and will occur online via Zoom.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Restore Oregon accounces the release of <i>Oregon’s Intangible Heritage:</i></span></b><b><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> Supporting the Preservation of Legacy Businesses<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Restore Oregon, with support from the Oregon Cultural Trust and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, announces the release of
<i>Oregon’s Intangible Heritage: Supporting the Preservation of Legacy Businesses</i><b>–</b>a vital part of Restore Oregon’s commitment to pursuing new and diverse historic preservation programming for Oregonians statewide. The report lays the groundwork for
more inclusive and responsive preservation practices in support of our state’s diverse stewards of cultural resources by outlining a program initiative for historic businesses in Oregon.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Historic small businesses continue to be lost at an alarming rate
</b>around the country and an immediate response is crucial to reduce the loss of places that serve as cornerstones of many communities. The current landscape for historic preservation emphasizes the built environment, with a particular focus on architectural
heritage. While these efforts have seen success in architectural preservation, they are not geared toward historically significant businesses—especially excluding those that do not occupy historic buildings.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Our study takes a deeper look at the needs of legacy businesses</b>, with additional focus on those that are BIPOC (Black/Indigenous/People of Color)—owned, and what a more concerted effort to preserve them
might look like. Oregon’s legacy business base is significant with approximately 30,000 active registrations for businesses older than 20 years, 27% of which are BIPOC-owned. Through in-depth research and outreach,
<i>Oregon’s Intangible Heritage</i> offers a clear analysis of current legacy business assistance programs, a summary of our data and outreach, and recommendations for establishing a statewide legacy business program with special emphasis on supporting those
owned by the BIPOC community. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Recommendations include establishing a statewide Legacy Business Resource Center</b> with regional offices and a two-pronged approach for services and grants tailored for business owners who rent their place
of business and those who own.<o:p></o:p></p>
