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.
