We were 10 women, from 10 different countries, converging in Hanoi, Vietnam. The purpose: three weeks of intensive coursework in heritage management. In fact, we had more connections to each other and more in common than any of us expected. Two of us had a mutual colleague. Two had lived in England. Two had backgrounds with national parks. Together, we all were independent, dedicated professionals deeply invested in heritage—both cultural and natural—and committed to working toward sustainable management. It was this ambition that brought our paths into intersection.
