REPUBLICAN TAX REFORM FRAMEWORK RELEASED—HISTORIC TAX CREDIT NOT IDENTIFIED AS WORTH KEEPING!

9/28/2017

 
Today the National Trust for Historic Preservation reported that Republican leadership released a tax reform outline intended to guide House and Senate tax writing committees in their drafting of tax reform legislation.  Within this framework, the historic rehabilitation tax credit is not explicitly preserved and most business tax credits will also be repealed.The federal historic rehabilitation tax credit is the government’s primary way of responding to the failure of the market to preserve historic income-producing buildings. Without a federal historic rehabilitation tax credit, the historic fabric of our urban centers, Main Street commercial districts, and small towns nationwide face a much greater risk of economic obsolescence or demolition. If you care about the future of historic preservation, now is the time to act.

Urge your Congressional delegation to contact members of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees with the message that repealing the historic tax credit is bad policy. The need for tax reform is clear, but it must not come at the expense of a program that more than pays for itself and has a proven track record of creating jobs, saving historic buildings, and revitalizing neighborhoods.
​
Now is the time to speak up for the historic tax credit. Join us in letting Washington know that historic preservation advocates need their voices heard. Our history is too important.

Call for Proposals: West Virginia Association of Museums

9/28/2017

 
Building a Museum Community - A Capital Idea!
2018 Annual Meeting and Conference
Charleston, WV
March 22 - March 24, 2018


We are pleased to announce that the West Virginia Association of Museums’ annual meeting and conference will be held March 22 - March 24, 2018, in Charleston, West Virginia.
Picture
The mission of the West Virginia Association of Museums is to serve, educate, advocate for, and enhance communications within the museum community.  By listening to its members, serving their interests, and keeping members abreast of current national standards and activities, WVAM works to benefit institutions, professionals, volunteers, and others interested in the museums of the Mountain State.
 
The theme of our 2018 conference is “Building A Museum Community: A Capital Idea!”  We continue to hear from our members that we need to strengthen and grow the relationships between our state’s museums, cultural heritage and art organizations, and the people that are associated with them.  From state agencies to consultants, conservators to artists, professionals to students, and volunteers to donors - if we work together, network, and share information, just think of how much we can accomplish!
 
We are now accepting proposals for papers, presentations, workshops, exhibits, and poster sessions addressing our theme, “Building A Museum Community – A Capital Idea!”.  As always, we are also accepting sessions which focus on collections care and management, interpretation, non-profit management, grant writing, exhibit design, fundraising, and emergency preparedness - as well as proposals which address materials conservation, history, and preservation-related issues.  We especially encourage hands-on sessions that will teach our members new skills.  Don’t worry if your idea does not fit into one of the categories above (there is only so much room in this paragraph!)  Just reach out to us if you have any questions or ideas about a topic.  You can email the conference committee at [email protected] or talk to Bekah Karelis at 304-830-3485.
 
The deadline for submission of proposals is October 15, 2017.
