NEW!! Planning Purpose-Driven Programs
<http://www.aaslh.org/purposedrvprogrms.htm>
Date: April 22
Location: Oak Park, IL
Cost: $130 members/$150 nonmembers
TAKE YOUR PROGRAMS TO A HIGHER LEVEL! Successful program planning is purpose-driven and mission centered. This workshop will address how to plan purpose-driven programs and highlight the link between planning and evaluation, so that your museum's goals and objectives align with your mission. By applying the ideas of Jim Collins’ Good to Great to museums, this workshop will also facilitate discussions and group exercises around these concepts:
* Museum leadership and staff clarify the museum’s intended outcomes to achieve mission.
* Museum leadership and staff align their work and resources to achieve the intended outcomes.
* Museum leadership and staff continually reflect on the museum’s progress and apply lessons learned in pursuit of mission.
