Neighborhood leaders-- REGISTER TODAY!

Philadelphia is a city of great neighborhoods and preserving their sense of place and distinctive character is key to sustaining a healthy community or achieving successful neighborhood revitalization.

When the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia presented our first every citywide conference in the spring of 2009, the response  was positive and the event was very well received. With the interest in mind, we are very pleased to present our second citywide conference for community leaders about preserving and celebrating Philadelphia's neighborhoods.

If you are a neighborhood/community leader, you won't want to miss this opportunity to learn about the many resources available to strengthen and build upon the successes in your community by incorporating historic preservation into your tool kit.

Registration is only $20 per person and includes lunch.
