Plenary Session Speakers and Topics

Earn AIA/CES Hours

The Plenary Session (June 7) features two speakers who will discuss our sense of place from the favorite downtown business to the rural landscape and how these very personal connections fuel our passion for historic preservation. It is easy to point to a newly rehabilitated historic building and explain its aesthetic and economic benefits to the community. But, preserving significant places also benefits us in ways we cannot see or quantify.

First, Robyn Ryle, Associate Professor of Sociology, Hanover College, Hanover, Indiana, will present The Coffee Shop and the Corner Store: Sociological Perspectives on Place. She has taught urban and community sociology, sociology of gender, and other courses for eight years at Hanover College. Her sociology of gender textbook, Questioning Gender: A Sociological Exploration, explores the many questions raised by an examination of gender in our everyday lives. In addition to teaching, she writes about books, knitting, fiddling, cooking, gardening, and the stories of small town life in a 170 year old house in historic Madison, Indiana.

When Dr. Ryle addressed the National Main Streets Conference last year in Baltimore, she opened by saying, “Thank you all so much for having me here today. It’s good to be in a room full of people who love place, appreciate place and are working to build great places.”

Dr. Ryle will talk about her own experiences with places and how those experiences are informed by her sociological perspective. She says, “As a sociologist, I’m interested in how places shape social life. So, I ask questions about how places shape our social interactions and the kind of communities in which we live.” Her very personal story about where she is from and where she lives now is bound to inspire our conference audience. She will ask us to think about what the places we create, and the places we preserve and the places we love say about us as people.

Then, Jennifer Kalkman, Director of Digital Marketing, Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department, Oklahoma City, will present Genealogical Tourism: Connecting Family History to the Oklahoma Landscape. She holds a Bachelors Degree in finance and an MBA. She oversees development and content for TravelOK.com as well as email marketing, SEO, paid search and online display advertising. TravelOK.com was #1 among state tourism websites for pages per visit in 11 of the 12 months during 2012, and has won numerous awards.

Ms. Kalkman’s presentation will focus on one of the exciting new features of the website, Genealogical Tourism in Oklahoma. You will be asked, “Does your family have a connection to Oklahoma?” Then, you are invited to “Take a journey of self-discovery and trace your family tree while connecting with the people, places and landscapes that helped shape your ancestors.”

Registered architects who attend the conference can earn American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System (AIA/CES) learning unit hours. Simply register for the conference and check in at the SHPO’s table when you arrive at registration. There are no additional fees for this service.

Self report your attendance at http://www.aia.org/education/index.htm. The SHPO will provide written learning objectives at registration, and a certificate of attendance will be mailed to you after the conference.

Ken Culp, III, Principal Specialist for Volunteerism, Department of 4-H Youth Development, and Adjunct Associate Professor, Department of Family Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, returns to Oklahoma’s statewide preservation conference by popular demand. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Animal Sciences and a Ph.D. in Educational Foundations and Administration, all from Purdue University. He has more than 23 years of experience in volunteer and nonprofit administration, volunteer development and service activities and leadership development. He will present two workshops designed to appeal to the broad historic preservation audience (June 6 and 7). Many historic preservation programs and community development initiatives depend on volunteers, but finding, motivating, and retaining them can be a challenge. The workshops include:

Transfusions-R-Us: Recruiting New Blood onto Boards and CommitteesAre your volunteers, board and committee members tired, over-worked, run-down? Do your volunteers, board and committee members lack the energy, enthusiasm, vitality, drive and vision that they once garnered? Do you have trouble identifying, attracting, recruiting, engaging or retaining “new blood” onto your volunteer roster, board or committees? This workshop will focus on identifying 10 proven methods for identifying and recruiting new volunteers and board members. Additionally, participants will gain specific information on implementing these 10 tips in their own volunteer programs. (June 6, Includes Lunch, Reservations Required, space limited to 50)

Recruiting and Involving Youth in Community ServiceYouth can be the easiest of all demographic groups to target for engagement in community service activities. However, many volunteer coordinators and staff members, being from a different generation, lack the knowledge, skills, expertise and contemporary communication skills to successfully approach and recruit teens for involvement in service or programmatic activities. This workshop will prepare volunteer coordinators and staff members who are interested in targeting youth for volunteer service to adapt their marketing message to appeal to teens, to tailor service activities to fit the likes and interests of this demographic audience, and to promote volunteer service as a component of teen activity. (June 7, No Reservations Required)

Pre-Banquet Reception/SHPO’s Annual Awards BanquetThe State Historic Preservation Office invites you to mingle with award recipients and your fellow preservationists as we celebrate preservation accomplishments across the state. The SHPO will present the 2013 Citations of Merit and certificates for recent Oklahoma listings in the National Register of Historic Places during the banquet, which follows a reception hosted by First Bank & Trust Company. (June 6, Reservations Required)
