We’re experiencing problems with our awards@kpalliance.org email account – we’ve heard from some Awards attendees who have called in to RSVP that they had sent an email – but we never received it! If you have emailed your RSVP and haven’t let a board member know or have already called in, please call Amelia with TreanorHL at 785-350-6502 and she will make sure we have you on the list!

Friends of Historic Preservation in Kansas:

You are invited to nominate an historic preservation project or advocacy effort for a 2019 Award for Excellence.

The Awards for Excellence bestow Merit, Honor, and the coveted Medallion awards on outstanding preservation projects each year. Nominated projects must meet the intent of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and the criteria for listing properties on the Register of Historic Kansas Places, as well as having construction work substantially completed during 2018.

The Preservation Advocacy awards honor outstanding individuals or groups for their initiative and commitment to the advancement of historic preservation in Kansas through events, actions, or efforts that have taken place recently or may have taken place over months, years, and lifetimes.
