I'm looking ahead to the upcoming National Docent Symposium and am interested in putting on a panel about a topic important to those of us who manage volunteers which isn't really talked about at all...how the death of volunteers impacts us, our programs, and our museums. I've been facilitating some small discussions with volunteer managers in my region and it's clear that this is a topic is long overdue for conversation on a larger scale. If anyone is interested in exploring creating a panel on this for the upcoming NDS in 2022, please let me know. You don't have to be a content expert or a mental health professional...I'm certainly neither! I plan on using the panel to basically create space for conversation and would really like some help figuring out how to make it work at an in-person conference, and some co-facilitators to make it happen.
