Dear Dena,
My suggestion would be to reach out to staff at the Oakland Museum in California. They have been assembling community advisory groups for well over a decade, and this work informs programming, fund-raising, marketing, interpretation and, over the last few years, the re-design of galleries. You could try reaching the director, Lori Fogerty. My contact, Kelly McKinley, just moved to the Bay Area Discovery Museum, but would know about recent work at the Oakland Museum. Also Barbara Henry, who used to be their Director of Education during the 90's and 2000s, is now an independent consultant, but could also talk about how they developed historically.

Hello,
I am seeking resources, guidelines, or looking to get in touch with other museums for building community advisory groups. I look forward to being in touch should you have advice or experience in this area.
