The Small Museum Association and the Long Island Museum Association present their: Summer Workshop The Small Museum Association and the Long Island Museum Association invite you to join them for a day of learning and networking at their Summer Workshop. This year's workshop will be held August 11, 2006 at Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park in Oyster Bay, NY. This is a wonderful opportunity for museum professionals to gather, share experiences, and acquire new knowledge that will help their institutions grow. This year will feature the following sessions: Instituting an Integrated Pest Management Program at Your Small Museum with Derya Golpinar, Collections Manger, East Side Tenement Museum The professional literature contains ample information on the components of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plans, as well as the goals and reasons for instituting such an approach at your museum. But how should staff go about transforming this information into practice? Using practical examples from the IPM plan developed for the Lower East Side Tenement Museum by Collections Manager Derya Golpinar, this workshop will focus on specific ways to institute the various components of an IPM plan into a functioning, low cost, comprehensive program. Topics to be covered include: monitoring, mitigation strategies, treatment strategies, and staff training. Master Planning-It's Not Just for the Big Sharks with Doug Mund, Principal, Douglas E. Mund designgroup Throughout the years, master planning has been a tool for museum planning and growth. Throughout community market and research and workshop participation, the planning process can benefit the museum in many indirect ways. The process develops strong community and membership commitments that enable museums to both expand their core mission as well as look to future with confidence of having big picture. General museum thinking has evolved that these services are related to the larger institutions, whose budgets can afford or demand such forward thinking. Services can be specifically tailored to our most important museum members of the smaller towns' and cities' museums. The stories and missions of each of the smaller museums or societies are equally important and in many cases more relevant and personal than larger ones. This workshop will show how master planning can be an incredible tool for smaller museums, wishing to instill strong connections and projects with donors, communities, and membership.
