Wake Forest's Historic Preservation Commission is currently on the lookout for community members ready to help protect the town's historical character, announcing openings for volunteers to serve on the commission. With four vacancies to be filled, local residents with a background in fields such as historic preservation, history, architectural history, or archaeology, are particularly urged to step forward and apply.
The commission is integral in guiding Wake Forest through preserving its historical sites and stories, and now, residents within the town limits have a chance to contribute to these efforts; however, candidates are instructed they must apply by October 30 which gives a narrow window to take action. As mentioned by wakeforestnc.gov, interested parties can delve into the details of the Historic Preservation Program as well as ongoing HPC initiatives by searching "historic preservation" on the town's website - an essential step in understanding the commitment the position entails.
In line with equal access values, the town has ensured that those without online capabilities are not excluded from this opportunity of civic engagement; a kiosk at Town Hall is ready for use for those needing to access and complete the online advisory board application. For further assistance or to request a hard copy application, Deputy Town Clerk Ella Dowtin can be contacted directly at [email protected], facilitating the application process for all constituents.
Wake Forest extends an invitation for interested individuals to reach out by email to Ella Dowtin at [email protected] for any inquiries or clarifications needed regarding the application process or the commission's work.
