</span></b>I am sorry to announce that Kevin Teater will be leaving his position with the Beaverton Downtown Association later this year. Kevin has done a terrific job in strengthening the organizational structure of BDA, forging meaningful community partnerships,
and really raising the visibility of BDA’s critical role in sustaining and enhancing downtown Beaverton. It was Kevin’s initial thought to start the Mornings on Main weekly check-in calls at the start of the pandemic and they have become a staple in our communications/networking
toolkit. We will miss his calm presence and thoughtful contributions!<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

the last two legislative sessions. If looking for toolkits, talking points, etc., I would start with reaching out to them:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#32AFB1"> </span>Registration is now OPEN (finally!) for the 2022 Virtual Oregon Heritage Conference & Heritage Excellence Awards, April 27-29!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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 the past two years 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 April 27-29 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">This conference engages participants in all areas of heritage preservation in Oregon including historic preservation, museums, historical societies, city/county commissions, main streets, archaeology, historic cemeteries,
and more. Whether you want to strengthen your organization, identify tools and resources for your efforts, engage with the community, advocate for support, or create new appreciation for Oregon heritage in its many forms, you will want to attend.<o:p></o:p></p>
