John, this sounds like a really good seminar. Great work! Your e-mail reminded me that I am not yet a member of DivCo, so I am filling out my form that I picked up at AAM, and sending it in. I really would like to become more active with DivCo, so.... keep me in mind for a small task. Take care, and it was good seeing you at AAM.

Exemplary Interpretation: Characteristics and Best Practices
June 15-16, 2001 * Portland, OR
Designed for educators, exhibit developers, curators, interpreters,
directors, and others interested in interpretation, this two day seminar
will provide you with strategies, performance measures, and the essential
characteristics of effective interpretation.
Get answers to the following questions: Why are interpretive goals often
difficult to achieve? What makes good interpretation? What are the
circumstances and factors necessary to achieve success? And much more...
* Based on AAM's National Interpretation Project-a two-year study that
surveyed the benchmarks and processes of exemplary interpretation-you will
review the Project tools including an institutional self-assessment, and be
led through the essential steps in evaluating your museum's interpretive
strategies.
* Learn the most current thinking on interpretation from expert
practitioners in the following functional areas: audience research and
evaluation, curation, education, exhibitions, and media and technology.
* Gain insights on how to "wow" your audience through creating a total
visitor experience.
* Through a group site visit to the Oregon Historical Society to view
the exhibition, Keeping the Spirit Alive gain first hand knowledge on how to
collaborate with subject matter experts and guest curators.
