Legislative Update: Key Preservation Priorities on the Hill
On September 17, 2026 the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Government Relations team led a legislative update ahead of the National Preservation Summit (September 22-24).
This update equips National Preservation Summit Advocacy Day participants with the latest information before their meetings on Capitol Hill while also serving as a timely briefing for anyone interested in the current state of preservation policy in Washington. The webinar provides an overview of where key preservation priorities stand, what to expect in the coming months, and how advocates can make the greatest impact.
Speakers Shaw Sprague, Pam Bowman, and Lauren Cohen will discuss the current legislative landscape, advocacy priorities, and key information to help participants communicate effectively with members of Congress and stay engaged in federal preservation advocacy.
