2 Caltfornia Preservation, Summer 2003 President's Report - Peyton Hall Committees Rule: Behind the Scenes at CPF

You might wonder if summer is a quiet time at CPF. In fact, CPF is a year-round organization, and our staff (less than three full time employees) depends on thirteen committees led by Trustees and assisted by volunteers to keep the operation going, mount programs, and advocate for legislation and preservation of sites. Because I am on the distribution list for the E-mail communications of most committee activities, I am assured that we have hard working Trustees and committees!

Summer is the critical season for planning the fiscal year that starts in the autumn. In June, the Strategic Plan Committee met in Santa Monica to update the implementation tasks for goals that we adopted three years ago. Revisiting the Strategic Plan provides a measuring stick for how we have progressed, and an opportunity to adjust our tasks. Those task lists determine how the committees are formed and provide direction for committees. The annual budget that the trustees will adopt for the next fiscal year is intended to reflect these goals and committee activities. There is method in our madness! We must think in terms of strategies in order to continue to adapt because in a state as large as California, we cannot have too many members, too much education, technical assistance, or presence in the legislative and executive halls of Sacramento.

Following the retirement of Trustees and election of new Trustees at the recent annual meeting in Santa Barbara, the Board Development ("nominating committee") set about reviewing the candidates and needs for future vacancies, and developing a roster of officer candidates for consideration by the Board at the meeting in July. The Board Development Committee is composed of a veteran group of current and former Trustees and officers who perform the important task of assuring that CPF has a long and strong future through the leadership of committed Trustees with a variety California Preserva tion of talents. is published by the California Pres The Education and Conference Committees did not miss a beat after the Santa er vation Foundation, Barbara conference in April.

Local activism remains an important element of historic preservation, and local issues often resonate in California and across the nation.

PRESIDENT'S AWARD Dr. Robert Winter

Bob Winter, currently Arthur C. Coons Professor of the History of Ideas Emeritus at Occidental College, arrived in Los Angeles in 1956 to teach history at UCLA following assignments at Dartmouth and Bowdoin Colleges. Beginning in the 1960's, he collaborated with architectural historian David Gebhard on the influential series of guidebooks that served both as references and an introduction to the world of architecture in the Los Angeles area. Winter authored Pasadena's first Cultural Heritage ordinance in the early 1970s with Miv Schaff, and served on the first Commission. Today, thirty years later, Dr. Winter sits once again in the same position, on the renamed "Historic Preservation Commission" that last year engineered a stronger local preservation ordinance. Winter is a current appointment to the California State Historical Resources Commission, a Trustee of the Pasadena Museum of History, and frequent contributor to the programs of Pasadena Heritage.
