The Smithsonian's Center for Museum Studies announces a new workshop:

Introduction to Museum Management
February 23-27, 1998

Application Deadline: December 23, 1997

Organized in response to social, financial, and economic conditions of a
 different era, museums are being charged to understand and deal with a rapidly
 changing world. Yet, the pressing demands of daily operations often hinder the
 ability of an administrator ability to consider new trends and their
 implications for the organization. This workshop is designed to offer
 opportunities to reflect on fundamental management concerns and to formulate
 responsive plans.

Sessions in this five day program cover:

     Strategic Planning
     Team Building
     Managing Human Resources
     Understanding and Controlling Finances
     Facility Management
     Development and Fundraising
