Dear Oregon and neighboring Museum folk, I am passing along this great Oregon Museum Association conference call for proposals announcement! Mark your calendars for the Oregon Museums Association annual conference, October 16-18, 2011, at the Benton County Historical Museum in Philomath, Oregon! The conference theme is The Sustainable Museum: People, Environment, and Economy. OMA is currently accepting proposals for conference sessions and all are encouraged to apply. All session proposals will be considered. Special consideration will be given to sessions with topics related to the conference theme and/or topics found to be of the most interest to our members, based on a 2008 OMA member survey, including: Community Engagement School and Public Programs Audience Development and Outreach Exhibition Design Marketing Strategic Planning Collections Management Fundraising/Grant Writing Technology Training Cultural Tourism Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested, as you do not need to be a member of OMA to present at the conference.
