Every year, the Arizona Site Steward Program (SSP) provides a multi-day Education Conference for all Arizona Site Steward volunteers, partner land managers, tribes, and other preservation guests. The focus is to provide exceptional workshops and activities to help members expand their knowledge of archaeology and preservation-related topics, develop new site monitoring skills and to come together as one group to network and recognize program members and group achievements.
Our Conference plays such an important part in the Program! There is an amazing amount of work put into providing the best experience for all attendees. Conference workshops are uniquely tailored to the conference location and each year's cultural preservation issues. We engage expert guest speakers for our educational workshops, and provide hands-on activities and Sunday excursions for our attendees. With financial support from the Arizona Site Steward Program Foundation, along with federal and state agencies and cultural resource management companies, the SSP is able to provide this annual training to all Program members for free. There are no registration fees to attend the Site Steward Conference.
