2010 Preservation Awards
Each year, Landmarks Illinois and the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation honor individuals, organizations, projects and programs whose work demonstrates a commitment to excellence in historic preservation. In doing so, we hope to inspire others to take action to preserve, protect, and promote historic resources. In addition to the beautifully designed scale model of the Chicago Stock Exchange, each of this year’s winning projects will receive a $500 cash award. The deadline for nominations is July 1. We are hoping to get a large pool of nominations from across the state to honor their preservation efforts. Visit Landmarks Illinois for more information.

Registration has opened for the 2010 NAPC Forum in Grand Rapids, Michigan! The NAPC Forum is the only national conference dedicated to local preservation commissions and the issues we face. (It also holds the best preservation party!) This year's Forum features an expanded program with breakout sessions on Friday as well as pre-conference tours and mobile workshops. As always, Forum will have a full complement of working roundtables in which you, the participants, will work with experts to find real solutions to challenges commissions face and help set the course for NAPC's program.
For conference materials go to the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions website and click "Preliminary Program" "Schedule at a Glance" or "Registration Form." For members (or staff) of a historic preservation commission in an Illinois Certified Local Government community you can request a $250 reimbursement for travel and lodging fees. When so doing, as soon as you register for the Forum please contact Catherine O’Connor at the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency at catherine.oconnor@illinois.gov for a reimbursement form.
