Massachusetts Preservation Coalition
In January 2002, Preservation Massachusetts (PM) formed the Massachusetts Preservation Coalition, a network of local, statewide, private, and public historic preservation organizations across the Commonwealth. The Coalition is the first effort in recent history to formally establish statewide partnerships for the purpose of enhancing and promoting historic preservation issues and ideas and develop strategies for successfully building and maintaining relationships with the more than 30,000 constituents represented by the organizations.Coalition meetings offer a unique opportunity for the representative from each group to share their preservation experiences and learn from the experiences of others. Whenever possible, the members of the Coalition support one another on local preservation issues through attending conferences, meeting, events, and writing letters of support.
