  • 1.  Interested in hosting a local AAM "webinar "watch and talk" event?

    Posted 04-08-2015 07:49 PM
    Dear colleagues,

    Interested in networking with and learning from your local museum colleagues?  Consider hosting a webinar "watch and talk" event during the upcoming three-part AAM webcast series, Perspectives on Museum Leadership scheduled for May 6, 13 and 20.

    In this three-part series supported by the Getty Foundation, leadership experts and museum directors will engage in frank conversation about the skills needed to be an adaptive leader at any level in today's museums.

    • May 6: 21st Century Skills and Museum Leadership

    • May 13: The Self-Aware Museum Leader

    • May 20: Aligning Leadership with Organizational and Career Goals

    Each live webcast will take place on Wednesdays, 2-3:30 p.m. ET. Each local webinar "watch and talk" event includes 30 minutes of check-in and networking prior to the live webcast and 60 minutes of group discussion after the live webcast. We ask all confirmed hosts to reach out to the local community to share this professional development opportunity. To learn more about hosting, email Greg Stevens at gstevens@aam-us.org.

    Would this be good for docent training?

    Hi Shirley,

    While the series is primarily focused on paid museum staff, I think docents and volunteers would benefit from parts of the program, since we discuss leadership at all levels from an individual and institutional perspective.

    Please let me know if you have further questions.

    Best regards,

    Greg Stevens

    HI Greg,

    Can you tell me more about the webinar - Is there a charge, how long is it planned for, what subjects will be covered? Thanks.
