                         Summer Workshop

 The Small Museum Association and the Long Island Museum Association invite
you to join them for a day of learning and networking at their Summer
Workshop.   This year's workshop will be held August 11, 2006 at Planting
Fields Arboretum State Historic Park in Oyster Bay, NY.  This is a wonderful
opportunity for museum professionals to gather, share experiences, and
acquire new knowledge that will help their institutions grow.  This year
will feature the following sessions:   

Instituting an Integrated Pest Management Program at Your Small Museum

with Derya Golpinar, Collections Manger, Lower East Side Tenement Museum

 The professional literature contains ample information on the components of
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plans, as well as the goals and reasons for
instituting such an approach at your museum. But how should staff go about
transforming this information into practice? Using practical examples from
the IPM plan developed for the Lower East Side Tenement Museum by
Collections Manager Derya Golpinar, this workshop will focus on specific
ways to institute the various components of an IPM plan into a functioning,
low cost, comprehensive program. Topics to be covered include: monitoring,
mitigation strategies, treatment strategies, and staff training.

 Master Planning-It's Not Just for the Big Sharks

with Doug Mund, Principal, Douglas E. Mund designgroup

 Throughout the years, master planning has been a tool for museum planning
and growth.  Throughout community market and research and workshop
participation, the planning process can benefit the museum in many indirect
ways.  The process develops strong community and membership commitments that
enable museums to both expand their core mission as well as look to future
with confidence of having big picture.  General museum thinking has evolved
that these services are related to the larger institutions, whose budgets
can afford or demand such forward thinking.  Services can be specifically
tailored to our most important museum members of the smaller towns' and
cities' museums.  The stories and missions of each of the smaller museums or
societies are equally important and in many cases more relevant and personal
than larger ones.  This workshop  will show how master planning can be an
incredible tool for smaller museums, wishing to instill strong connections
and projects with donors, communities, and membership.
