  • 2020 Partners Retreat Host Published June 4, 2019 Proposals Due by 5:00Pm ET, Friday, July 12, 2019
    Call for Interest – 2020 Partners Retreat Host Published June 4, 2019 Proposals due by 5:00pm ET, Friday, July 12, 2019 Greetings Partners, Following our successful retreat in Texas in April, we are pleased to issue this Call for Interest to host the next Partners Retreat for three days in either April or June 2020 (possibly May). We have found that May can be a challenge for some organizations as it is Preservation Month, although it could be considered for compelling reasons. As for April or June, that depends on weather and respondents’ preferences. We seek a Partner, or collaborating Partners, that can provide an interesting locale with compelling field studies and programming, as well as adequate, affordable (or free) meeting space. As those who have attended know, the Partners Retreat is one of the premiere opportunities for professional networking among nonprofit preservation professionals. Typically, it draws between fifty and sixty attendees. One of the great added values to this meeting is seeing—firsthand—how our peers do their work and what we can learn and take away. A host location that offers learning opportunities from local success, challenges, and partners/presenters and therefore can bring a distinctive perspective gained from their city/town is of great interest. Please address the following in your response to the Call for Interest. You are not expected to have a full proposal with confirmed agenda, locations, or sponsors. But, we do want you to give us a sense of the proposed format and realistic opportunities for local hosting and sponsorship support. WHAT IS ASKED OF THE HOST Typically, the host is asked to do the following, with support from Partners Network leadership: Arrange for lodging (block of approx.
