 Descansando Para La Jornada: Resting for the Journey
 The 2002 Western Museums Association conference theme is a metaphor for our

 professional growth, restoration and rejuvenation. As museum professionals we
 are constantly challenged to renew and inspire our visitors but we often
 neglect
 opportunities to do this for ourselves.
 Our profession leads us on paths of discovery as we work to apply new
 technology to our exhibits, educational programs and collections. Our work is
 a
 continuous journey of challenge and change. Can we succeed in our endeavors
 without recognizing that we too require renewal and moments of descansando?
 The 2002 Annual Conference will focus on reflecting on our field and
 restoring our professional development; Resting for the Journey, Descansado
 Para
 La Jornada. Session proposals may address a variety of topics, but the
 selection
 committee will be interested in those that reflect on and explore restoration
 and rejuvenation—in our professional careers and in our programs and
 institutions. What kinds of changes should we be preparing for? How can we
 support our professional growth and development? What can we learn from our
 past
 experiences?
 The conference will be held at the Westin La Paloma, a secluded resort
 located at the foothills of Tucson’s beautiful Catalina Mountains. Slow
 down
 long enough to experience the subtle changes of the sky, land and animal life
 as
 the Tucson desert transforms from summer to fall. We invite you to prepare to
 rest amid the diverse cultures that reside in the Old Pueblo.
