Docent Diversity: Recruiting, Training and Maintaining Volunteer Docents Wednesday, April 10, 2002, 2:30-5:00 PM Oakland Museum of California, James Moore Theater As museums strive to engage the diverse audiences in their communities, docent training and recruitment is essential to these efforts. Join us in an exchange of ideas about managing volunteer docents. Oakland Museum Docent Coordinator Gail Burroughs and Oakland Museum Docent Elena Krause will discuss some strategies used at the Oakland Museum, and will talk about what worked and what did not. Participants will then break into working groups to brainstorm ideas for the particular situations in the groups.
