Dear AOA Executive Board,

My name is Mary Rossi, and I work in Bellingham, WA, for APT-Applied
Preservation Technologies (APT), a nonprofit program offering cultural
resource consulting and educational services to clients including
developers, government agencies, tribes, and private citizens.  I am also
serving my fourth year on the Board of the Association for Washington
Archaeology (AWA).

APT is part of a team hosting an annual regional conference called the
Cultural Resource Protection Summit.  Our primary goal in organizing the
Summit is to facilitate amongst all affected parties an open, frank
discussion about the intersection between cultural resources and land use.
The Summit is designed to promote collaborative cultural resource planning
as an effective means of finding resolution to issues before they escalate
into emotionally-charged, divisive, and expensive stalemates or law suits.
We would like to invite AOA to join the conversation.

This year’s Summit (the fourth annual) will be held May 23-24 at the
Suquamish Tribe’s Kiana Lodge near Poulsbo with a theme of "Doing More With
Less: Strategic Action in an Era of Competing Resources.”  The Summit
website, including draft agenda, is at
http://www.theleadershipseries.info/summithome.html  Attendees at past
Summits have included tribal representatives (Tribal Historic Preservation
Officers, cultural resource staff, museum staff, and Council members),
government agencies (federal, state, and local), cultural resource
professionals (archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians),
developers, planners, lawmakers, preservation organizations, educators,
lawyers, and the public.

Assuming the Summit is of interest, would it be possible to broadcast the
event information to your members and/or post a link to the Summit website
on the your website?  We would greatly appreciate any assistance you are
willing/able to offer in reaching your members.

Thank you very much for your consideration, and please let me know if you
have any questions.

PS-I will be doing a presentation on the Summit at the NWAC later this
month if you'd like to learn more.
