In April 2002, Cornerstones Community Partnerships, Crocker Ltd. and many other partners, including the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance, and the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division, will host the 5th Annual US/ICOMOS International Symposium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The convening, scheduled for April 17-20, 2002, is open to heritage professionals, practitioners, supporters and organizations committed to the protection, preservation and conservation of the world's cultural heritage.

The United States Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (US/ICOMOS) is a non-governmental organization whose mandate is conservation of the world's cultural heritage. ICOMOS, through its 120 national committees worldwide, provides a forum for professional dialogue and a vehicle for the collection, evaluation, and dissemination of information on heritage preservation principles, techniques, and policies. Cornerstones is an award-winning New Mexico-based community development organization that for fifteen years has used heritage preservation as an organizing tool for youth training, intergenerational exchange and professional development programs. Crocker Ltd. is an architectural conservation firm based in Santa Fe.

The Symposium will focus on recent trends in the evolution of preservation theory and practice that have demonstrated how heritage conservation can be a formidable framework for social and economic change. When properly considered preservation can inspire development that responds to local needs and aspirations while accentuating values and strengths of local cultural traditions. Three of the preceding US/ICOMOS International Symposia have posed these questions in the light of local, national, and international partnerships that need to be forged among preservation professionals, public authorities, volunteers, local groups and broader community stakeholders.

In addition, the symposium will explore the many different aspects of heritage preservation around the world with regard to politics, regionalism, cultural landscapes, tangible and intangible heritage, volunteerism and community service. Five sessions are scheduled including a full day in the field looking at, and participating in, community-based projects in northern New Mexico.

All sessions will be simultaneously interpreted from English to Spanish.
