How do we reach emerging audiences in our local and regional communities? What sorts of new programs are in the works with our partner organizations and historic sites? What problems do we face individually that affect our history community as a whole? What can we learn by sharing perspectives and insights?
 
Join us for a presentation by Cordell Reaves, Historic Interpretation and Preservation Analyst at the New York State Park Service, on his "Conversations with Colleagues" program.  Mr. Reaves will discuss the inspiration for the program, its structure, and the variety of insights and partnerships it has fostered over the past few years. This program offers an outstanding model for increasing collaboration in our own regional history community.
