The Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC) proudly announces the 13th annual Jekyll Island Management Institute (JIMI 2013). Scheduled for January 22-29, 2013, JIMI is specifically designed for administrators from new and emerging museums and for museum professionals with subject area expertise desiring knowledge of general museum administration and operations.
Located on historic Jekyll Island, GA, this highly successful training program provides a unique eight-day immersion for museum professionals seeking the opportunity to learn management, personnel and interpretive skills from leading experts. Sessions include leadership and management styles, administration and trusteeship, strategic planning, fundraising and marketing, financial management, developing exhibits, public relations, collections management, disaster preparedness, interpretation, volunteer management, and museum ethics.
Through the generosity of friends and colleagues of the late Peter S. LaPaglia, the Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC) and the Jekyll Island Management Institute (JIMI) are pleased to offer the Peter S. LaPaglia JIMI Scholarship to cover the cost of tuition. Several state associations, including the Arkansas Museums Association, North Carolina Museums Council, Mississippi Museums Association, and South Carolina Federation of Museums, offer scholarship and travel assistance to its members. In addition, John and Cynthia Lancaster offer scholarship assistance to a member of the Tennessee Association of Museums.
Applications for JIMI and the Peter S. LaPaglia JIMI Scholarship are currently available at the website address shown below, with a November 15, 2012 deadline for submitting applications. JIMI is an SEMC program sponsored by Goosepen Studio & Press, Inc., Jekyll Island Museum and Historic Preservation, LaPaglia Companies, and North Carolina Division of State Historic Sites and Properties. We gratefully acknowledge support from Gaylord Brothers, Inc. for JIMI 2012.
JIMI alumni will have a reunion meeting at the annual SEMC meeting in Williamsburg, VA, November 7-9, 2012. In addition, members of the JIMI Class of 2012 will lead a session to discuss their experiences and answer questions about the JIMI program.
