* * Please excuse cross-postings * * REGISTER SOON FOR CAM'S STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP The next workshop in the California Association of Museum's (CAM) 2005 Regional Workshop Series is Everything You Ever Wanted Know About Strategic Planning and More. The purpose of this workshop is to familiarize participants with the strategic planning process and its implications for decision-making. A case study will be distributed in advance that will provide background information about a hypothetical museum ("The Sleep Center for Art & History"), its community, and critical issues impacting the museum. During the workshop, participants will be identified as "Board" or "Staff" and will experience the process of designing the framework for a strategic plan using the case study museum. By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed a vision, mission, core values, and goals for the case study museum as well as understand how to write objectives and action plans. The workshop presenters are Adrienne Horn, President, and Stephen Horn, Senior Vice President, Museum Management Consultants, Inc.
