BRANCH PROGRAM
Save the Past. Enrich the Future
(Saturday) February 21, 2026,
10:00-12:00 pm
Norman Murray Center, Jupiter Room
24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo, CA
Wendy Levin, the Branch Program Coordinator for this meeting, highlights the program by saying, “People often say they don’t build things like they used to. Thankfully we have the National Trust for Historic Preservation!”
One of their initiatives, the HOPE Crew (for Hands-On Preservation Experience) is training the next generation of professionals – particularly women, minorities, and veterans – to help restore historic sites and learn a valuable trade in the process. Our speaker, Chris Morris, Senior Director of Preservation Programs, will discuss this as well as a project aimed at establishing and restoring local landmarks where women made history.
