2024 Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards - Open for nominations! The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Awards.aspx#one> 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.

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.
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. View past award winners and projects  here<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/pages/awards.aspx#one>.

Oregon Heritage Fall Statewide Workshop on organizational planning
Does the idea of planning for your organization’s next big endeavor fill you with dread and anxiety? Or does it cause you to procrastinate because you just don’t know where to start? Let us help you get started by registering now for the free Organizational Planning without Fear & Anxiety Workshop hosted by Oregon Heritage! We’ll help approach planning with the training-wheels on and a support system in place to catch you. During this free three-hour workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to take a look at your organization’s projects, establish goals, and get a working plan down on paper with the help of our skilled facilitator, Kyrie Kellet. You’ll also take home the tools and worklets to bring back to your organization once you feel ready to take the training-wheels off and do it on your own.
