Online seminar on mission statements

MS007: The Mission Statement: Is it really that Important?
Instructor: Peggy Schaller
July 16-20, 2012
Cost: $99
Location: online at <URL:http://www.museumclasses.org>

This short seminar meets the requirements of the Virginia
Association of Museum's Certificate in Museum Management.

Description: The heart of every museum is its collection and a
mission statement is critical to preserving that collection.
Participants in the Mission Statement will discuss their mission
statements and whether they really make a difference. Peggy has seen
and heard it all as a consultant to small and large museums. She
will help you figure out ways to make your mission statement work
for you.

Logistics: Participants in The Mission Statement will read
literature and participate in two one-hour chats to discuss how a
museum's mission statement may or may not impact the daily
operations. Each student should read course materials and prepare
questions or comments to share with the other students in the chat.
This is a mini-course and takes no more than 10 hours of a student's
time.
