Dear Colleagues, The Museums Association of Namibia would love to be able
to attend the ICOM Conference in Austria, particularly to meet with our
sister Museums Associations - as these seem more in tune with the needs of
smaller museums, like those in Namibia, than ICOM which seems to mainly
represent the large high-profile museums. Unfortunately we can not afford
to send a delegate to Europe. We produce a bi-annual newsletter which
provides information on our activities and hope to get a web site up and
running over the next twelve months which will help us to network better
with our partner Museum Associations around the world. Perhaps we can
contribute to debate through email ? Best wishes, Jeremy Silvester, Project
Planning and Training Officer.

Subject: Meeting of National Museum Associations--Vienna
Dear Colleague / Cher(e) collègues:
National Museum Associations in countries are invited to meeting during the
ICOM Conference in Vienna. WAMO is the informal network of these
organizations. This will be an opportunity to meet and share ideas with
your colleagues worldwide.
Most of us involved in the national museums associations have very unique
problems and ideas to share as national associations, as well as concerns
over major issues such as funding policies, copyright, cultural property,
etc.
Please note the new time and location of the meeting: Monday, 20 August 2007
from 2:30pm to 5pm at the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Arts (see
address below). We could continue over drinks or dinner!!
Cette importante réunion aura lieu le lundi, 20 août 2007 de 14 h 30 à 17 h
00 au Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Arts (Oesterreichisches Museum
fuer Volkskunde, Laudongasse 15-19, A-1080 Vienna).
In order to efficiently share basic information on each of our national
associations, would you please prepare a one or two page briefing on your
association, # of members, budget, revenue sources, major services and
projects, etc. Please bring about 25 copies for distribution at the meeting
OR you may distribute by email in advance by responding to this email list.
If you have any significant agenda items please suggest these to me so I can
prepare an agenda which is useful.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer à Vienne le 20 août prochain.
Please confirm your participation (up to 2 per association) with me at
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> .
