How We Operate
Since our founding, Pendleton Historic Foundation has been committed to the town's unique historic landmarks. Our team consists of talented and passionate individuals, all of whom share a common goal -- to preserve and share Pendleton's rich history with as many people as possible. Our board, advisory board and craftsmen bring a wealth of relevant experience and local expertise, allowing us to take on even the most difficult and challenging preservation projects. The Foundation is governed by a 20-member Board of Directors and managed by our operational staff. The Board of Directors meets in Pendleton once a month and is separated into standing committees. In addition, a half-day planning retreat is scheduled in early January of each year, often followed up with a mid-year reassessment session in July.
