The American Association for Museum Volunteerism is proud to join AL!VE to co-facilitate a new Communities of Practice (COP) session for those managing volunteers in museums, galleries, cultural and arts centers. Join us as we discuss and share insights and experiences that we are all having in the arts education/enrichment communities. COVID has posed certain challenges and changes for us all so let's rely on each other for ideas and inspiration!  This will be a time for networking, sharing ideas, asking questions, and brainstorming with your peers. 

This session's topic is Critical Conversations: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Volunteers

Join us at 12:00 pm ET on Monday, January 13th by following this Zoom Meeting link:

I can't make it on Monday, but think it would be a great resource for me. Any chance it will be recorded?
