Why are these sorts of events always designed for only the employees of organizations working in the preservation field — organizations who apparently can afford the relatively high cost of admission? Why can’t there be at least an isolated activity that would be free and open to the general public — such as ‘vendors’ with complimentary (or low cost) materials — where a simple homeowner or other type of “non-professional” can at least have access to basic information? These sorts of events should not exclusively cater to only the ‘elite’.
The Award Ceremony was free to the public. Much information could be learned from listening to the nominees. Some of our webinars are free to the public also.
