- "I get five main benefits from following Forum-L. First, I learn a lot. Second, I find it useful to observe what the hot topics are. Third, it's good to be able to correct misconceptions and misinformation. Fourth, sometimes I am in a position to help someone solve a problem. Finally, I have used Forum-L to help get the word out about useful publications or programs."
—John Renaud, Historian, Washington, D.C.
- "Forum is aptly named . . . the on-line email listserv helps build a sense of community among members, and the entire membership program is all about sharing information and gaining insight from fellow preservationists. Discounted rates for the National Preservation Conference, publications, and subscriptions more than compensate for the cost of Forum membership and open a breathtaking array of opportunities to learn from others. Forum helps thinking people build better communities for the future."
—Dan Becker, Executive Director, Raleigh Historic Districts Commission, North Carolina
- "As an architect in the field of preservation for over 25 years, Forum membership has become an integral part of my work. Through the network of over 4,000 professional and volunteer preservationists, I am able to keep abreast of essential information ranging from policy-making breakthroughs to conferences to funding opportunities for my clients. Both the quarterly Forum Journal and the bimonthly Forum News have become my 'first check' resource when researching solutions to a specific preservation issue."
—Bruce D. Judd, Architectural Resources Group, San Francisco, California
- "The Forum-L listserve is particularly valuable in my work as senior heritage planner with the City of Calgary. I have saved many of the comments and suggestions that are relevant to my work here. I would encourage other Canadian heritage professionals to join the National Trust Forum."
—Darryl Cariou, Senior Heritage Planner, City of Calgary, Canada
