Here you'll find a listing of forthcoming events sponsored by PS Modcom, as well as those of interest to the Modern community-at-large. You'll also find reports on the major issues that we're addressing and updates from the various Modcom committees.

PS Modcom Committees: All members are encouraged to join one or more of these important committees. Only with active volunteer participation can we hope to achieve our ambitious goals! Education Committee: Currently the Education Committee is updating and creating new display boards for public exhibition, produces and manages the February "Architecture Month" exhibition at the Palm Springs Library Center, and coordinates the Annual PSMODCOM Preservation Awards. Outreach Committee (Nickie McLaughlin, Chair): Currently the Outreach Committee produces the annual PSMODCOM House Tour, produces the annual Gala Benefit, and manages PSMODCOM's booth at the Palm Springs Modernism Show. Outreach also coordinates the publishing and distribution of PSMODCOM's Self-Driving Map of Modern Sites in Palm Springs. Advocacy Committee (Peter Moruzzi, Interim Chair): The Advocacy Committee coordinates the various preservation efforts, both new and ongoing, that we're following in the Coachella Valley. This includes working behind the scenes with city officials, property owners, preservation architects and others in forging agreeable solutions to complicated preservation problems. In other cases, advocacy efforts must be more public with letter-writing programs, city council testimony, and massive publicity campaigns conducted in order to achieve our goals. Litigation is considered the last resort, but, to be credible, we must be prepared with adequate funds in case a lawsuit is necessary.
