*ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND*
The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership (BPCP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization founded in 2003 to facilitate collaboration among the many
arts, science and cultural institutions located in San Diego’s historic
Balboa Park. Our 29 member institutions vary in size and type and include
17 museums, the San Diego Zoo, several performing arts organizations,
cultural centers, and gardens. Although the Park’s cultural institutions
are our primary audience, many of our programs are open to other relevant
organizations and professionals.

The Balboa Park Learning Institute (BPLI) is a program of BPCP and utilizes
the collective resources of the Partnership to provide innovative and
collaborative learning opportunities to professionals, volunteers, and
organizations in Balboa Park, as well as the greater San Diego region and
beyond. BPLI launched in 2008 and continues to develop programs with

learning and experimentation, and 4) affect individual, organizational, and

Leadership Symposium focuses on delivering relevant, on-trend content to
Balboa Park employees, volunteers, and trustees, along with the broader
museum, arts, and culture audience in Southern California and beyond.
Various national webinars and online program series will be essential

Leadership Symposium.

BPLI is focused on establishing a sustainable model for developing,
implementing, and marketing curriculum and programs through the Online
