About the Presenter

The workshop will be led by Huy Pham, Executive Director, with Asian & Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation (APIAHiP). Learn more.

The workshop will be supported by Sarah Marsom, a locally-based but nationally-recognized heritage resource consultant, from Columbus, OH. Her work is rooted in the belief that if historic preservation is not accessible, it is neither relevant nor revolutionary. Sarah connects the dots in her heritage work to create a more equitable and inclusive bigger picture, including introducing APIAHiP and Westerville History Museum to each other!
