Forum Webinar
Register

Join the National Trust for Historic Preservation for a briefing on the federal legislative priorities shaping historic preservation in 2026. The webinar will outline the core policy and funding issues that will define the preservation agenda in Washington and set the direction for advocacy efforts in 2026 and beyond.

Led by the National Trust’s Government Relations Team, along with members from across the preservation community, this webinar will examine how we can:

  • Support the Historic Preservation Fund
  • Defend the National Historic Preservation Act and Section 106 process
  • Strengthen the Historic Tax Credit
  • Protect historic places and cultural landscapes

Participants will gain insights into congressional dynamics, emerging policy challenges, and how our unified preservation approach can advance meaningful legislative outcomes in the year ahead. We will also highlight key preservation advocacy opportunities throughout the year, along with how to stay involved and effective as priorities advance.

This webinar is brought to you by Preservation Leadership Forum.


Speakers: Pam Bowman, Senior Director, Government Relations, National Trust | Lauren Cohen, Director of Government Relations, National Trust | Chris Cody, Associate General Counsel, National Trust | Evan Johnston, Deputy Chief of Staff/Legislative Director, Representative Chellie Pingree
