“I was extremely satisfied with the information provided at NPI’s Historic Structures Report Seminar. … I especially appreciated the fact that the instructor was a working professional… Furthermore, I was also impressed by the caliber of attendees. The seminar drew a wide variety of professionals which facilitated discussion tremendously. I really appreciated the opportunity to participate in the seminar and I would definitely recommend it to preservation professionals.” “I see the [NPI] seminars as an important way for preservation professionals to have opportunities to learn new information, keep abreast of everchanging laws affecting the preservation field, and to learn from other professionals through networking opportunities. Preservation is a field that is always underfunded…. having scholarship funds available for preservation professionals to attend the seminars is critical… the availability of the scholarships is often the difference between someone being able to attend the seminar or not.” “As a full-time graduate student my budget is very tight and I would not have been able to attend the seminar without the scholarship award. The seminar was extremely helpful for me; I now have a much clearer understanding of what an HSR is and how to create one. I was also able to meet people working in preservation and gained valuable insights into current trends in the field.” “I found it [the seminar] useful to understand the process and learn of the paperwork available for evaluating architecture in the U.S. … I found the seminar to be practical, interesting, and helpful, as we do surveys and evaluations in the private architectural firm of which I am employed. I would strongly recommend NPI’s seminars to other professionals in the field because they are not only theoretical, but also necessary for everyday use in preservation.” “With the information I gained at the seminar, and under the guidance of an historic preservation consultant, I was able to complete a fairly straightforward project … to determine the effect of a proposed new building on a historic district.” “While I was still at [the University], I recommended the [NPI] training seminars … to fellow students at every opportunity. I also encouraged the faculty to support students in their efforts to attend the seminars, by excusing absenses from class, assisting with efforts to find funding for travel, etc. Given the opportunity now, I would strongly encourage someone to attend the seminars.” “As someone who works in historic preservation, but who does not have an M.A. in the subject, but a Ph.D. in archaeology, I rely on your seminar series as a guide to what I should know about. … I consider your series incredibly useful.” “As a new professional in the cultural resource management field, the Introduction to Section 106 was more than helpful in my overall understanding of the Section 106 process…. The class really made me understand my place, and priorities in the 106 process.”
