I remember that opportunity! We had a team of 3 from here that attended that program. I'm the only one left of the 3, and I can tell you we ran into many problems trying to get others "back home" to buy into the process. However, the one good thing that came out it was a realization by all of us that it helps to have a non-subject area person plus an education read the label copy. Thanks for the memories! "David R.

The team has a representative from as many areas as fits your Museum (curatorial, exhibits, development, P.R., etc.). I always try to include a non museum person as the voice of the viewing public. The final say (in head to head disagreements) lay with the designated sheriff (can be anyone, but usually is a senior staff). The responsibility for correct grammar and spelling is assigned to a team member. Final labels are a product of this team.
