My co-writer and I, recent graduates of Harvard University's Museum Studies Program, are writing a book about

the lack of audience diversity at museums. We would appreciate receiving information about your museum's diversity outreach initiatives.  Information or questions may be sent to:  patneblett@comcast.net

Thank you,

Pat Neblett

Hello,

I work for the Milwaukee Public Museum and we have recently formed a diversity working group to find 3-5 actionable items to present to leadership to increase racial, religious, sexual orientation, age, etc. in both our visitors, staff and leadership. It is possible that if we can gather enough information on this topic, these action items may be included in our upcoming strategic planning process. Any information you are able to pass along will be much appreciated.

Please send to smolejhill@mpm.edu

Thank you! Roselyn
