Conservation is most often associated with our beloved historic buildings and areas, but the contributions made by people of all faiths, colours and backgrounds are just as important to our collective social and economic heritage. This first-class training event is relevant to conservation professionals and other disciplines. Learn about the history and contribution of notable people of African descent who, along with many other diverse groups, have not only contributed to the region’s rich cultural diversity, but their lives are embedded into its fabric. It will cover IHBC philosophical and history competencies and more.
We will also be holding the Annual General Meeting of IHBC North Branch AGM for which I attach the Agenda, Nomination and Proxy forms – do come along and elect and meet your new IHBC North Committee and enjoy refreshments with like-minded heritage professionals.
