The Institute for Heritage Administration aids those who seek to integrate historic built environment, archaeological resources, living crafts and folk art with strong sustainable economic development and sound government structure. The goal is to weave the heritage of a culture into the fabric of a sustainable economy.
The Institute focuses on the creation of the infrastructure necessary for growth and development of legal and management systems which allow people to preserve and protect the heritage they value.
The Institute for Heritage Administration Specializes in Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability is a goal for organizations to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability is the right thing to do and can make responsible economic sense because in the now, to maintain long term viability, organizations need to optimize their resources and minimize their waste.
Driven by the moral demand, many organizations have developed a policy taking into consideration current operating practices and an acceptable range of operating parameters. IHA offers the expertise to the organization to make shifts that might be implemented to move credibly toward sustainability.
Emerging issues and trends can be driven by governments and markets. Organizations respond with strategy. Frequently organizations focus on tracking short term measures such as attendance and day-today-costs. Notably the legislative and regulatory processes move more slowly than private sector decision-making.
Current cash flow and compliance are not adequate. Lawsuits and the hubris of judges spin the implementation of laws and regulations and requirements can become retroactive. Organizations can look at their management systems not only for survival but as tools to be flexible, anticipate and respond to trends of the future.
Thorough the application of business and sustainability principles, IHA can help cultural resource organizations move forward as better citizens and control costs and create a cash-flow of the scale necessary for operating in the modern global economy.
