Commissioners!

As a Certified Local Government (CLG) the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission is required to participate in preservation training.  Each year we are require to have two Commissioners attend approved training.  One such training opportunity is Preservation NC’s Annual Conference in Greensboro, September 28-30.  Please contact Stewart Gray if you are able to attend.

The keynote speakers will be Dr. Spencer Crew and Dr. Allan Parnell.

Dr. Crew is the Robinson Professor at George Mason University and will explore the topic of his latest book, which focuses on the WPA recordings of the last living generation of the enslaved in the United States. Click here to learn more about Dr. Crew.
