Registration is open and Sponsorships are available!

The 2016 Cultural Resource Protection Summit marks the ninth anniversary of our gathering.  Since its inception, the primary goal in organizing the annual Summit has been 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.

This year, the Summit agenda will encourage attendees to examine the challenges of communication across careers (professions) and cultures (value systems), as well as real-world examples of how effective communication supports responsible land use planning.  On Day 1, we will focus on issues of particular interest to land use planners and developers, while on Day 2, we will address more advanced Cultural Resource Management (CRM) topics.  Both days will include a keynote speaker and a series of related panel sessions culminating in small and large-group Q&A/discussion.  So, bring an open, inquisitive mind and your burning questions about how to communicate cultural resource concerns to others!

Join us at the Suquamish Tribe's beautiful and inviting House of Awakened Culture for a two-day gathering that will help you improve your technical skills while deepening your connection to why we do this work.  Leave with more tools for protecting cultural resources and sharing the important stories they tell.
