AIC Is Seeking Public Outreach Liaisons

Public outreach has been identified as a priority for the AIC following a recent survey of its membership. Regional representatives for public information are needed to:

• Survey local news publications for articles about conservation projects--these can be expanded upon and offered to national publications
• Identify projects in their geographic area or conservation speciality that would be of wider public interest
• Identify local events such as antique shows and craft fairs where AIC could establish a presence, and identify people willing to staff a booth or make presentations
• Develop or improve communication with local or regional museum associations and provide presentations or workshops
• Develop outlines, bibliographies, and other materials to assist conservators making public presentations

For more information, or to help with AIC outreach efforts, please write or call Pam Hatchfield, Director for Public Information, American Institute for Conservation, 1400 Sixteenth Street NW - Suite 340, Washington, DC, 20036.
