Pocantico Proclamation on Sustainability and Historic Preservation NAPC is pleased to announce the release of the Pocantico Proclamation for Sustainability and Historic Preservation. This document is the result of the Pocantico Symposium held in November 2008. Thanks to the generous support of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, 30 preservationists, architects, green builders and energy experts gathered at Pocantico for a retreat hosted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Friends of the National Center for Preservation Training and Technology. The group met to discuss the future of historic preservation in light of global warming, and specifically the implications of climate change for preservation policy. After two days of intense discussions, the group developed the core of the Pocantico Proclamation for Sustainability and Historic Preservation. This document outlines six preservation-based principles to sustain our built and natural environment as well as action steps in which the preservation community should engage. A Letter to George: How to Keep the Preservation Commission out of Court and Avoid Being Sued, by Robert E. Stipe Since it first appeared in The Alliance Review in 1993,
this seminal text has been photocopied, faxed, and otherwise distributed
throughout the preservation community. Its down to earth and humorous
approach disarms commissioners' concerns with dexterity while providing
crucial information. We are grateful to professor (Emeritus) Robert
E. Stipe of the North Carolina State University School of Design for
his kind permission to make this resource available. A New Direction for Virginia's CLG Program: A Strategic Plan In spring 2004, NAPC partnered with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to help the state take its Certified Local Government Program in a new direction. The project was designed to implement certain recommendations made by a task force that examined Virginia's CLG program in 2000-2001. The project report, A New Direction for Virginia's CLG Program: A Strategic Plan, addresses two of Virginia's 2001 task force recommendations that suggested new approaches to creating sound local preservation programs across the state. The task force recommended that Virginia's CLG program
establish certification credentials for local preservation commission
members and implement an affiliate program, which would offer training,
financial support, and technical assistance to local governments working
towards CLG status. The NAPC project report provides a strategic plan
for implementing these recommendations. NAPC Intern, Kristin Sanders,
with the guidance and support of NAPC Program Coordinator Drane Wilkinson,
served as principal consultant for the project. Virginia
