<a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/2020_Oregon_Heritage_Plan.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
here</a>). This plan is different than a strategic plan because it’s <b>a</b> <b>
call to action for heritage efforts</b> across the state, at the local, regional, and state level, to unite around common goals. The resulting goals of the final plan can help do the following:<u></u><u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Align the Heritage Commission’s initiatives and technical assistance with helping heritage organizations working towards the identified goals.
<u></u><u></u></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Heritage Commission provides grants, resources, and develops initiatives to find solutions to address collective challenges that those doing heritage preservation work in Oregon
have in carrying out their missions. <u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Provide a framework for other statewide service organizations and agencies to align their programs to help heritage organizations work towards these goals<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Provide a framework and support for local heritage organizations in prioritizing and planning projects and processes and getting support from partners, stakeholders, grant makers, and
decision makers. <u></u><u></u></li></ul>
