Moderated by Richard Kurin, Smithsonian's under secretary for history, art, and culture, today's program features the following presenters: Hugh Shockey, conservator, Smithsonian American Art Museum; Corine Wegener, president of the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield; Stephanie Hornbeck, principal of Caryatid Conservation Services, Inc.; Dr. Diana N'Diaye, cultural heritage specialist /curator, Smithsonian Institution; and Mike Bellamy, director, Smithsonian's Office of Engineering, Design, and Construction.
