The Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC) proudly announces the 11th Annual Jekyll Island Management Institute (JIMI 2011).  Scheduled for January 18-25, 2011, JIMI is specifically designed for administrators from new and emerging museums and for museum professionals with subject area expertise desiring knowledge of general museum administration and operations.

Located on historic Jekyll Island, GA, this highly successful training program provides a unique eight-day immersion for museum professionals seeking the opportunity to learn management, personnel and interpretive skills from leading experts.  Sessions include management styles, administration and trusteeship, strategic planning, fundraising and marketing, financial management, developing exhibits, public relations, collections management, disaster preparedness, interpretation, volunteer management, and museum ethics.

Through the generosity of friends and colleagues of the late Peter S. LaPaglia, the Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC) and the Jekyll Island Management Institute (JIMI) are pleased to offer the Peter S. LaPaglia JIMI Scholarship to cover the cost of tuition.



Applications for JIMI and the Peter S. LaPaglia JIMI Scholarship are currently available at the website address shown below, with an October 31, 2010 deadline for submitting applications.  JIMI is sponsored by SEMC, Jekyll Island Museum and Historic Preservation, North Carolina Division of State Historic Sites and Properties, and LaPaglia & Associates, Inc.
