ROUNDTABLE ON ROUNDTABLES

        WHEN: Saturday, November 15, 8:30-10:00 a.m.

        WHERE: program session, MAAM Annual Conference Hyatt Regency
                   Hotel, Rochester, NY.

        DESCRIPTION: "Making a Difference" is the theme for the 1997
        Mid-Atlantic of Museums annual conference.  How do museums make a
        difference in the lives of the people in their communities?  What                       is
the real value of our institutions?  What challenges, facing                    our
communities, can museums effectively address?  The Museum
        Education Roundtable (MER) chose to answer these questions by
        joining forces with NYCMER, the largest regional education
        roundtable in the mid-Atlantic.  Museum education roundtables have
        been in existence for over twenty-five years.
        Across the country, members have gathered to share ideas, address
        common concerns, and offer programs to their communities.  The
        purpose of this program is to assess the state roundtables and
        open a dialogue to develop greater unity while maintaining local
        ties.  Based on an ongoing survey of regional education
        roundtables.  Copies of the survey appeared in the Network.
