Shaping Futures, Managing Change:
A Retreat for Senior Museum and Heritage Managers
Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria
 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Bring your knowledge, experience, anxieties and visions - along with
your beach shoes - to The Haven on Gabriola Island for a productive,
highly focused learning session with your colleagues. In this
intensive workshop, you will focus on management approaches that help
you and your institution respond to current challenges and implement
changes that ensure your institutional (and individual) survival.
Sharilyn Ingram draws on her extensive museum and human resource
management experience to provide a framework in which you can
discuss, debate and analyze the problems that are confronting you and
shape creative strategies for leadership and effective change. The
Haven provides an environment in which you can take a brief respite
from the demands of your office to focus, reflect, build new
perspectives, strengthen collegial networks, and master new
management skills.

Participants: Museum, gallery and heritage site directors and senior
managers, with a minimum of five years experience.

Facilitator: Sharilyn Ingram is the newly appointed Director of the
Royal Botanical Gardens; she has directed major change processes at
several Canadian institutions, including the Art Gallery of Ontario,
the Vancouver Museum, and the National Museums of Canada
