Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards</a> recognize individuals, organizations and projects for outstanding efforts on behalf of Oregon heritage, drawing public attention to these efforts, and raising the quality of heritage‐oriented activities. Awards will be
presented during the 2024 Oregon Heritage Conference April 17-20 in Forest Grove. The awards are presented by Oregon Heritage, a division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department that houses the Oregon Heritage Commission and the Oregon State Historic
Preservation Office.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards honor those that have made the most of available resources and skills and are given for exceptional and meritorious work by organizations or individuals. Nominations are
encouraged for organizations and projects of all sizes and heritage purposes and for volunteers and professionals from all heritage sectors. The Sally Donovan Award for Historic Cemeteries will specifically be awarded for excellence in work preserving Oregon
historic cemeteries. In 2022 the Standout Heritage Volunteer category was added and is the only non-competitive category.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Action over and above the ordinary call of duty is an award prerequisite. Special consideration is given to the development of new ideas, approaches and innovations. The mere fulfillment of routine functions
does not justify an award. Previous award winners will be honored a second time only if their new work represents a major improvement above the level for which they were previously honored.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Historically, museums across the U.S. have taken a detached, scholarly, and archaic view of Native Americans. But over the past decade especially, there’s been a push by Native advocates and their supporters to “decolonize” -- or alternately,
“Indigenize” – these institutions, including here in Oregon.” Read the full article and listen to the news segment

<p class="MsoNormal">Despite broad public support for a full and honest portrayal of American history, fundamental divisions persist. How can the history field navigate disputes about the past, build on areas of consensus, and make the most of the coming U.S.
250th anniversary? This virtual summit will explore research, strategies, and case studies to help history doers navigate today’s fractious discourse.
<i>Doing History in Polarized Times</i> will take place online on February 8 – 9.

<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo10">Cultural associations and individual organizations are strengthening their focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) issues, including addressing DEIA in policies,
standards, accreditation and programming and making DEIA central in conference themes.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo10">At libraries, archives and museums, there is a renewed local focus in programming, celebrating area residents and addressing older populations.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo10">Institutions are concentrating on digitization efforts to both provide information to their user communities and to expand the reach of their organizations. Digitization increased among
smaller institutions, and across all organization types.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo10">Libraries, archives and museums are celebrating more immersive and interactive user experiences and making modifications of physical spaces to make them more accessible and inclusive.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo10">Virtual services and remote use boomed during periods of COVID closures. While some cultural organizations are refocusing on their in-person services, many changed the delivery paradigm
for reference, programming and other activities, and continue to operate these “re-engineered” services. Most will run leaner, blended organizations.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo10">Utilizing partnerships is a key method for libraries, archives and museums to become more involved with their communities.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo10">Cultural organizations face continuing concerns but are resolved to offer inclusive customer service despite political divisiveness across the country.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

Online, January 11, 2024 with one live session at 12:00-1:30 p.m. ET <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Facilitators: Laura Mina, Jacqueline Peterson-Grace, Natalya Swanson</b><br>
This workshop will provide space for conservation professionals at all career stages to consider and discuss professional ethical principles. While ethics are foundational to all of our professional activities, it can be difficult to make time to have focused
conversations about ethical theory and practice. The facilitators will make space for reflection and dialogue about the role of professional ethics as well as the intersection of these frameworks with the realities of daily practices. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The workshop is structured as a facilitated conversation with time for small and larger group discussions. There will be a small amount of pre-workshop preparation for participants so that we will all be ready
for meaningful conversation. This will include reviewing the AIC code of ethics and journaling two personal experiences when the code of ethics was highly and minimally helpful. During the workshop, the group will compare the AIC code of ethics with similar
codes from allied and adjacent professions. The goal is to consider the qualities that make these codes effective tools that shape and support professional practices.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The facilitators hope to inspire dialogue about the ways ethical codes can be practical, sustainable, and relevant by dedicating time to reflect on multiple frameworks for decision making. The intention of this
workshop is to create an inclusive space for conversation and reflection that leaves participants with an expanded understanding of ethical codes, and to empower them to continue these discussions with peers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">This workshop is free for participants. The workshop will be offered twice with the same content each day. The live session for the workshop will take place in Zoom and automated captions will be available.
The workshops will not be recorded and participants are expected to be present for the live session and contribute to the discussions.<o:p></o:p></p>

which includes all parks in California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, parts of Arizona and Montana, and the territories of Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. He begins his new role after the holidays. <br>
<br>
Szymanski will lead a team of 5,300 full-time and seasonal employees, overseeing 65 parks spanning 13 million acres that host 65 million visitors a year and contribute $5 billion to local economies. <br>
<br>
“David is experienced in virtually every aspect of the NPS, including natural and cultural resources, visitor use and recreation, law enforcement, wildland fire, Tribal stewardship, civic engagement, and budget,” said
</span>NPS Deputy Director Frank Lands</b>. “He also excels in building valuable relationships to manage the country’s largest urban national park.” <br>
<br>
Szymanski has more than 30 years of experience working with communities, parks and protected areas. In 2022, Szymanski served as the acting NPS associate director for partnerships and civic engagement, overseeing the agency’s largest grant program, the Land
and Water Conservation Fund, as well as philanthropic partnerships and community assistance. He is currently the longest-serving superintendent of Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a position he has held since 2012. <br>
<br>
“I am inspired by the people who care so much for our parks, programs, and the people they serve,” said<b> Szymanski</b>. “I look forward to working with our fantastic NPS professionals, Tribal nations and other partner governments, communities, and stakeholders
to ensure that our parks serve people today and generations to come.” <br>
<br>
Szymanski served as the superintendent at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park from 2007 to 2012, where he worked with Tribal leaders to develop and open Middle Village, a park unit focused on Tribal stories and voices in the lower Columbia. He worked in
positions at Voyageurs National Park, Everglades National Park, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. After completing graduate school, he served as a Peace Corps volunteer, working to support Malagasy colleagues in the newly organized national park system
in Madagascar. <br>
<br>
Szymanski holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan and a Master of Environmental Management degree from Duke University. He served two years in the Bevinetto Fellowship program, an honor established by Congress to improve mutual understanding
and cooperation between the NPS and Congress. <o:p></o:p></p>
