The change in the federal administration has brought potential impacts to the business of cultural resource management and changes to higher education. ACRA works to respond to Congress when potential legislation that affects our work or federal budgets is either positive or negative.
One of the best ways to accomplish the education of elected officials is with site visits and constituent meetings in their local offices. Nothing makes an impression on members of Congress like personal visits to sites that showcase where and how this work is being done in their districts.
This summer ACRA and SAA are bringing back our joint campaign to bring senators and representatives to project sites during the upcoming August congressional recess. In representing our community before Congress, we deliver the message of how CRM preserves our shared cultural heritage for present and future generations, and how this preservation of our past enriches local communities and creates economic benefits.
Please join us for a webinar on May 8 at 2:00 pm EDT to learn more about the campaign and how you can make your voice heard. The goal of this webinar will be to educate members on advocacy, specifically how to initiate, prepare for, carry out, and follow up on such meetings.
The creation of long-term relationships with representatives in government in essential to ensuring the preservation of our cultural heritage.
