Join peers and colleagues to enhance emergency preparedness at your Florida based organization through the Florida Connecting to Collections program. We welcome staff of Florida museums, archives, zoos, library special collections, and archaeology collections. Participate in discussion- and webinar-based workshops in your region of Florida. We will pair mentors with mentees to help guide the learning process, and connect people through our online learning community. 

You can choose to participate as a mentor or a mentee 
Mentor – For those participants who have experience in writing Emergency Plans. 
As an experienced colleague, you would be paired with two or three mentees to answer questions and provide guidance and feedback as they develop their plan.
Some mentors will serve as a workshop host. Your organization would provide meeting space for group discussions and webinars in a hands-on training environment. 
Collections Care Enhancement – Involving Boards Mentor: For this role, selected mentors will be responsible for facilitating discussion about ways to improve collections care at a mentee organization – and follow-up the discussion with both written collection care recommendations and presentation at a board meeting. 

Mentee – For those participants who intend to create or further refine their Emergency Plan. 
You will be paired with a mentor located within your region to assist with your plan. 
Some mentees will serve as workshop host. These organizations will welcome discussion about their collections care practices as part of Collections Care Enhancement – Involving Boards. The mentor leading that discussion will return to present written recommendations at a board meeting – involving the board in strategizing about ways to improve and fund collections care. 

Workshop Host – Both mentors and mentees are invited to serve as workshop hosts. Let us know if you are interested and we’ll work with you to determine best dates for you.
