The Louisiana Association of Museums will present Spring Summit 2003 on
Monday, May 5 at the National D-Day Museum, 945 Magazine Street, New
Orleans. The day will be devoted to a discussion of the future of museums.
"While many of us have engaged in long-range planning, setting
institutional goals and prescribing actions that will allow us to realize
our visions, we often find the road to success is fraught with obstacles,
detours, and changes in our destinations. Not only is this the case for
our individual organizations, it is a collective experience,” said Tamra
Carboni, Director of Curatorial Services at the Louisiana State Museum.
The program will feature a Roundtable Conversation with a panel of twelve
museum leaders, titled Museums and the Future: Are We There Yet?…Are We
There Yet?…Are We…, chaired by Ms. Carboni. Panelists from a variety of
disciplines, sizes of institutions and communities, who will discuss
approaches to changes in marketing, tourism, technology, education,
collaboration, and public expectations, include:
- E. John Bullard, Director, New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans
- Ralph E. Calhoun, Jr., Executive Director, Emy-Lou Biedenharn
Foundation/Biedenharn Museum and Gardens, Monroe
