***Strategic Planning Survey***
Tell us what you want, what you really, really want! ARCS members should
have received an email last week and a reminder this week with a link to a
10-minute survey. By participating, you’ll help ARCS understand the trends
impacting the profession and your career, and allow us to become more
effective at developing, connecting, and delivering value to you. If you
have any questions, problems with the survey, or need the link re-sent to
you, please email us at [log in to unmask]
***#ARCSChat October 2nd***
The delicate subject of courier demands regularly resurfaces like the sun
rises in the east, so let's address it both passively and aggressively.
What does your training look like? What are reasonable demands? Why not
share? Can't we have a similar standard amongst institutions? If you have
something you'd like us to ask, write us in the thread on the forum at
www.arcsinfo.org and, otherwise, plan to air your grievances on Twitter
during the next #ARCSChat while nursing warm nuts and a 2008 Bordeaux in
the first class lounge on October 2 at 8pm EST-https://twitter.com/Arcs4All
***Meet Your Board Member***
This week we would like to introduce you to Board member Michele Leopold.
Michele has over 25 years experience working in registration, collections,
exhibitions and risk management. Her career has seen a diverse range of
projects, many from the ground up or expansion construction projects.
Michele was one of the original staff members of the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC and was fortunate to see the
museum and collection develop from inception to the inaugural opening and
beyond. She has worked at the Atlanta History Center, the Ringling Museum
of Art and the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
In her current role as Director of Collections and Exhibitions of The Mint
Museum of Art, Michele works with a team of trained museum professionals to
oversee an active exhibition program at two distinct museums.
When she is not working, she can be found supporting the local craft beer
scene, knitting and traveling. Michele is currently making a pilgrimage to
the largest beer festival in the world and kicking up her heels to those
wild polkas.
