The Good, the Bad, and the Unrepresented: Advocating for Historic Preservation Statewide and in Your Own Community

See how the Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation, our statewide non-profit organization, advocates for and recognizes historic resources through its unique position, and learn how your own local non-profit organization can do this important work in your own home town.  Learn about programs and activities that recognize excellence, advocate for the endangered, and urge the passage of laws and supportive public policy to insure the future protection of the cultural resources so important to the history of our small towns and the State of Missouri.

The other webinars are:

10AM — Recording Oral Histories with Sean Rost, State Historical Society of Missouri
