How will our historic sites continue to make a big impact in the twenty-first century? With constant and multiple challenges, there is a demand for historic museums and sites to continually address exhibition, stewardship, marketing, visitation, appealing to younger generations, and ideas for generating revenue in order to justify their existence. In this workshop, Dr. Rael-Gálvez shares national trends and data, and how the National Trust is implementing core strategies that can be universally adapted.
Opening Night with Dr. Estevan Rael-Galvez: Mud to Mod through Memory

FREE PUBLIC EVENT
Dr. Estevan Rael-Galvez speaks passionately about the importance of memory and history, recognizing that when it is truly alive, memory invites us to make history. For him, this incredible opportunity is most profoundly situated in places, both the built environment and the natural environment. This is where wisdom sits. Protecting those places, the stories, and the people that nourish them is something that he is dedicated to working on, and hopes to inspire others to do the same.
