Meetings will focus on a specific region or topic, but all are welcome to attend one or more of the meetings. At the regional meetings participants will identify what issues matter most, how to best preserve the state’s history, and what government agencies,
 cultural institutions, and each Oregonian can do. Topic-based meetings will discuss how the heritage community can better address diversity, equity, and inclusion in cultural resource programs, disaster preparedness and response, and planning for cultural
 resources in development and infrastructure projects. The meetings will be held Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00, June through September by Zoom video and teleconference.<br>
