Basics and Advanced Heritage Area workshop courses are available to advance a locally or region's knowledge, understanding and advocacy of heritage area development, and to advance the skills and knowledge of existing and potential areas in organizational development, partnership collaboration, marketing and heritage area programs, events and publications. Members of the Heritage Development Institute Faculty are current or past Presidents and Directors of successful National Heritage Areas and they have significant experience in the field of Heritage Development. All faculty members lead topic-specific sessions and discussions and facilitate dialogue on a variety of heritage development issues. Participants enjoy a working lunch with the faculty members and receive a binder of information and resources for their use.
