STANDING COMMITTEES
Executive Executive CommitteeChaired by the president, the Executive Committee consists of elected officers and other members appointed by the president; APT's administrative director is an ex-officio member of the committee. The committee meets monthly by teleconference to assess the organization's progress on strategic objectives, review upcoming program plans, and carry out other APT business in between the semi-annual board meetings. Other APT committees report to the Executive Committee on a monthly basis by email or fax. Barbara A. Campagna, APT President, Executive Committee Chair Chapters CommitteeAPT has active chapters in many regions. Chapters play a critical part in carrying out APT's mission to advance the application of technology to the conservation of the built environment. Chapters also provide local preservationists opportunities to interact with other professionals in the field through chapter-sponsored social gatherings, tours, and seminars on topics of regional interest. The Chapters Committee, which meets monthly via conference calls and at the semi-annual Board meetings, facilitates communications between the chapters and APT. We participate in Membership Committee meetings. Liaisons from the chapters include: David West (Australia), Sheila Koehler and James W. Dossett (Delaware Valley), Gregory MacNeil (Lunenburg), Kyle Normandin (Northeast), Peter Meijer (Northwest), Ron Zmyslo (Ohio Valley), Barbara Warren and Marsha Kaplansky (Ottawa/Outaouais), Elizabeth M. Hallas (Rocky Mountain), Brian Scott Robinson (Southeast), Chris Hutson (Texas), Katie Irwin (Washington, D.C.), John Lesak (Western). Our primary objectives include the initiation of additional chapters and the creation of stronger student involvement in the chapters. Mark Huck, Chapters Committee Co-chair
Conference CommitteeThe APT Conference Committee is charged with identifying venues and supporting the local conference committees for APT's annual conference and general meeting. The Conference Committee typically plans the annual conference three years in advance, starting with the selection of a host city and a chair for the local committee. The Conference Committee provides general oversight to ensure that the conferences maintain a high level of quality while providing an ample supply of local flavor. The committee also monitors APT participation in and support of other conferences throughout the year, such as the recent conference on building codes. Peter Chalfant, Conference Committee Co-chair 2006 Brian Scott Robinson, Local Conference Chair Finance CommitteeChaired by the secretary/treasurer, the Finance Committee oversees APT's annual budget and reviews conference and training program budget proposals. The Finance Committee also provides oversight for day-to-day fiscal operations and the annual audits and reviews the dues structure. Nancy T. McCoy, Finance Committee Chair Membership CommitteeThe Membership Committee is responsible for overseeing all activities related to membership development and renewal. This committee collaborates with other committees, such as Chapters, Partnership, and Outreach, on projects of joint interest. The Membership Committee meets monthly by teleconference to provide support and to report on committee initiatives. Members are welcome to join and participate in furthering these initiatives. Janet Gourlay-Vallance, Membership Committee Co-chair
Nominating CommitteeThe Nominating Committee is appointed by the President of the Board of Trustees after each annual general meeting. The committee is composed of two members from the general APT membership and one member of the Board of Directors, who serves as the chair. The Nominating Committee advises the Board on all matters relating to the composition of the Board and recommends members to serve on the Board as officers. This committee also oversees elections. Natalie Bull, Nominating Committee Chair Outreach CommitteeThe Outreach Committee looks for initiatives for those in the preservation crafts, industries, and professions to foster a global preservation community. Present initiatives include the Annihilated Heritage: Reconstruction of Zabludow Synagogue, where APT is taking part in reconstruction of a wooden synagogue within the confines of the Open Air Museum in Bialystock, Poland; the Slovak and Polish Log Church Initiative, where APT directed the "Wooden Churches Conservation International Workshop" in Prešov, Slovakia, in 2004 and published a conservation master plan for the continued and long-range care of 32 Slovak and Polish church sites; and the Mexico Conference Initiative, where APT is planning an event to introduce APT to our colleagues in Mexico. Stephen Kelley, Outreach Committee Chair Partnerships CommitteeThe Partnerships Committee works to build new liaison relationships with other preservation-related organizations, such as the American Institute of Architects Historic Resources Committee; American Institute for Conservation's Architectural Specialty Group; DOCOMOMO's United States Committee; National Center for Preservation Training and Technology; Preservation Trades Network; Restore Media; and US/ICOMOS. Natalie Bull, Partnerships Committee Co-chair Publications CommitteeThe Publications Committee is responsible for overseeing APT's goal of publishing and delivering high-quality publications, including the APT Bulletin, the Communiqué, and the APT Web site. The Publications Committee also oversees APT's publication-related awards. Anne Weber, Publications Committee Co-chair APT Bulletin: The Journal of Preservation Technology The APT Bulletin provides state-of-the-art technical information in the field of historic preservation and showcases articles that address cutting-edge preservation techniques, as well as innovative applications of established restoration technologies. Articles include case studies demonstrating best practices, exemplary craftsmanship, international debates on preservation philosophy, and histories of building materials, technologies, and systems. The APT Bulletin also addresses emerging issues and trends, such as preservation engineering and the integration of sustainability and historic preservation. The APT Bulletin also publishes book reviews. First issued in 1969, the Bulletin is peer-reviewed and produced three times per year. Diana S. Waite, Editor, APT Bulletin Communiqué APT's newsletter, the Communiqué, publishes more time-sensitive material. It offers APT members a point of exchange for preservation information, where they can present their news and awards, share their project experiences with colleagues, post calls for papers, and submit preservation queries to the readership. Employers can recruit potential candidates by advertising positions to APT's network of qualified preservation specialists. Amy Lamb Woods, Co-editor, Communiqué
