As the end of 2024 draws near, we at Blue Shield are looking back over the past year at the many events that took place to commemorate the 70th anniversary of The Hague Convention. This important milestone was celebrated with conferences, meetings, and talks around the world, and USCBS was fortunate to attend and play a role in many of them. On Thursday, December 5th, four USCBS Board members will share these experiences during a members-only webinar hosted by the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield.
This will be one of multiple webinars to be offered each year to members only – a way to engage with our membership and share our work more directly.
So join as a member today or renew your existing membership! The term of membership aligns with the calendar year, so you will receive member benefits (like webinar invitations) throughout 2025; not to mention, you will be supporting USCBS’ mission of protecting cultural property. Thank you in advance!
