and read why IIC wanted to step back a bit at this event and look at
the field of heritage conservation in a more generalised way to
explore why the profession appears to be especially susceptible to
cutbacks and budget reductions during times of economic downturn.
Are we too insular?  Have we made too little effort to reach out to
other stakeholders in heritage? have we have been unwilling to
involve others in our decision making? What can we do to gain more
visibility and support?
