Hi all --
I'll bite. :-)
Question posed by Indigo Nights:
> What do you see as the top ten challenges facing
> Museums at present and five years into the future?
Regretfully, I couldn't think of ten . . . but suggest five
complicated, gargantuan, nearly-universal challenges.
1. Balanced budgets
2. Educational/informative exhibitions appealing to large
numbers of visitors
3. Increasing membership
4. Recruiting, training and keeping devoted and passionate
volunteers
5. Respect for all visitors and staff, regardless of:
(a) the fancy letters that may or may not proceed or follow
their names;
(b) where they were born or grew up;
(c) what they look like;
(d) who they love; and,
(e) any other characteristics that have been used to divide
rather than unite.
I hope everyone's having a great day!
Sincerely,
Jay Heuman, Visitor & Volunteer Services Coordinator
