• <br /> MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY <br /> STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> Date: March 7, 2013 <br /> To: Certified Local Governments <br /> From: Michael Koop, Historic Preservation Program Specialist <br /> Subject: Training for Heritage Preservation Commissions <br /> The Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is excited to inform you about a new <br /> initiative to help train Heritage Preservation Commission(HPC) members and staff. As part of <br /> our ongoing efforts to provide additional educational opportunities to our HPCs, SHPO staff <br /> will be available to attend commission meetings and give illustrated presentations on a variety <br /> of topics to help HPCs in their day-to-day work and activities. <br /> Initially, three different subjects will be offered as training modules: <br /> 1. Local Designations: Best Practices <br /> 2. How to Run an Effective Meeting <br /> 3. Design Review: Preserving Heritage and Improving Physical Environment <br /> Beginning in April, 2013, Heritage Preservation Commissions will be able to request that <br /> SHPO staff attend either a regularly scheduled HPC meeting or a special meeting to give a <br /> presentation on one of the three topics listed above. We are also curious to know if there are <br /> other topics of interest to you. If so, please let us know what those are, so we can begin to <br /> prepare teaching materials for future training cycles. <br /> During 2013, six training appointments will be available on the topics listed above, to be <br /> provided on a first-come, first-served basis. We look forward to hearing from you about topic <br /> selection and scheduling. For further information, or to make a reservation, please contact <br /> Michael Koop at 651-259-3452 or at michael.koop@mnhs.org. <br />
