Nov 11, 2019Download as PPTX, PDF1 like97 views

A year of planning. Stressed-out staff. Little or no profit. Now what? Sometimes the secret to success is in an epic failure. Three museum professionals map the road to success through detours of risks and failures. We will spark innovation and find success by identifying the best time for risk-taking, understanding the value of failing, and creating tangible evaluation with outcome-focused goals to turn colossal mistakes into successes.

This document summarizes a presentation by Peggy Tran-Le, Linda Waterfield, and Gina Caprari on activating archives for engagement and equity. The presentation discussed how the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, UCSF Library Archives and Special Collections, and the Global Museum at San Francisco State University are making their archives more accessible and promoting diverse voices. This includes documenting film collections, creating finding aids, engaging students through classroom projects, developing exhibits featuring historical collections, and sharing archives online. The goal is to make archival materials more available and tell more inclusive stories.

Beyond Land Acknowledgements: Real Collaboration with Tribes & Tribal LeadersWest Muse

��

Tribal land acknowledgments are rapidly growing in popularity among institutions and organizations, taking the form of opening statements in meetings and conferences, signage, or website messages. One might ask why land acknowledgments are being made in a growing number of settings, including the museum. Acknowledgment is a simple, powerful way of showing respect and is intended as a step toward correcting the practices that erase or freeze Indigenous people’s history and culture while inviting and honoring the truth. However, the land acknowledgment is also at risk of ending where it began, perhaps well-conceived and received, but merely a symbolic gesture with little to no follow-through of engagement and real change. While land acknowledgements are well-meaning, they are no substitute for substantive and ongoing tribal relationships and understandings of tribal land claims.

Digital Strategy: A Means for Museum TransformationWest Muse

��

Museums crafting digital strategies for the first time can find the process daunting, so hearing from members of the museum community who have done this work can be a great place to start. This session will address how an institution can develop a successful digital strategy, including how to leverage technology for institutional impact, how to ensure digital efforts are serving a need, and how digital efforts can protect, enhance, and showcase content. PRESENTERS: Alisha Babbstein, Archivist, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education Nik Honeysett, CEO, Balboa Park Online Collaborative Jack Ludden, Senior Strategist and Innovation Specialist, Balboa Park Online Collaborative Gail Mandel, Deputy Director, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

Their goal is systemic change in museums through governance, funding, representation, and transparency. The discussion covered paradigms around oppression and privilege. Activities were presented to brainstorm worst case scenarios and preventive actions. A Museums & Race Report Card was introduced to provide accountability by allowing museums to self-evaluate practices around issues like responsiveness and representation. Attendees were encouraged to provide feedback to continue improving the report card.

Planned Giving Opportunities with the Upcoming Transfer of Wealth (Pt 2/2)West Muse

��

Studies show that $9 trillion in assets will be passed in the U.S. from Baby Boomers to Gen X and millennials by 2027. It is imperative that fundraisers plan thoughtfully for this transfer of wealth because great opportunity exists to secure planned gifts. While many nonprofits focus on immediate funding needs, museums are in a unique position, responsible for long-term institutional preservation and collections care. It is not only prudent but necessary to develop sustainable revenue.

Planned Giving Opportunities with the Upcoming Transfer of Wealth (Pt. 1/2)West Muse

Experts provide insights on these various planned giving tools and how nonprofits can utilize them.

Board Engagement in FundraisingWest Muse

Boards are responsible for the fiscal health of the nonprofit organizations they serve. Not only must they give, but it is essential that they take part in fund development. Many volunteers are uncomfortable in this role. This session will equip staff with tools to train board members about the fundraising cycle and how they can be involved in different phases based on their comfort levels. It will include tips on face to face solicitations.

Inclusivity, Difficult History, and the Modern Museum Audience West Muse

This session explores engagement practices used to achieve statewide resonance, understand affective outcomes of the museum experience, and respond to community needs.

Our World is Flat: An Introduction to Managing Archival and Photograph Collec...West Muse

This workshop was designed for museum professionals, beginners and old pros alike, who find themselves struggling to manage paper and photographic materials in their institutions. We encouraged open minds and open hearts to engage with us and each other as we journeyed through the dark passageways of the archival profession. There were two hands-on group projects: processing a manuscript collection and creating a digitization plan.

The Transgender Museum Experience: Creating a Safe Space for Everyone to Work...West Muse

��

Transgender people are members of every community museums engage, from staff and volunteers to visitors and participants. How can your institution create a safe space for people of all genders? This panel discussion will include a brief overview of gender identity before diving into a conversation about successful engagement around the region. Learn from your colleagues, develop strategies to take home with you, and discover resources to shift your museum’s workplace culture.

Museums are Places that are Quietly SubversiveWest Muse

��

Has your museum ever tried to engage audiences in controversial topics, moderate discussions about social movements, or introduce inclusive practices only to be stymied by your board or director? Does it feel impossible for your museum to be an advocate for social justice issues? This session is informed by the growing movement of museums and museum professionals working to dispel the myth of institutional neutrality or nonpartisanship, the reality of museum professionals who can’t overtly address controversial topics and a belief that “museums are places that are quietly subversive.”

Indigenous Perspectives on Museum Diversity (Part 3/3) - Reclaiming our Place...West Muse

��

As we plan for the next seven generations, should diversity matter to tribal museums and communities? What does diversity within these museums look like, especially in a time where discussions around diversifying staff, boards, and collections are everywhere in the museum world? This session brings together museum scholars and practitioners to share stories of the practice of diversity in Indigenous museums.

Place Matters: Site-Specific Interpretation West Muse

��

Site-specific interpretation provides an authentic experience of place and creates a powerful lens into the legacy of an individual or cultural group. Providing visitors with a contextual experience is accomplished through methods tailored to each site’s unique characteristics. This session explores this idea in detail through four locations: the Basque Block Museum and Cultural Center, James Castle House, Hemingway House and Preserve, and the Suquamish Cultural District.

The Power of the Pen: Crafting an Effective Fundraising Message (Part 3/4)West Muse

If you answered yes to any of the above, this session is for you! Learn from a panel of professionals representing museums of all sizes, and take away tips for engaging donors.

Motherhood and Museum Professionals: Creating Environments Supportive of Work...West Muse

��

In this interactive session, presenters used their (vastly) different experiences as new mothers at 5+ institutions to examine relevant issues. You can learn about new ideas such as “onboarding” new parents, and explore creative strategies to ensure museums have systems in place to achieve both what’s best for the museums and for their staff. This presentation focuses on parenthood, but conversations will apply more broadly to any work/life balance.

Editor's Notes

#17: Hillary: Welcome 1 minutes
#18: What do you think of when you hear the word ‘risk’? Jumping out of buildings? like in the yves klein image Speaking truth to power? Is ir Raising your first, or placing your vote, or even taking a knee How many of you identify as risk takers? How many of you work at institutions that think they take risk? How many of you actually work at museums that take risks? Risk takers come in all kinds of shapes and sizes… from super heroes to CEOs of Museums…risk can be personal and private, or it can be public and dramatic. Either way, risk taking is driven by a sense of self and purpose. Risk is specific to time and place, to the person and the community. Risk doesn’t have to big and sexy and dangerous, it can be small and intimate, but what connects all of these actions is core set of values that guides you. ��
#20: Failure, or rather, success looking differently than you anticipated, is part of the scientific process, it is something that should be anticipated and budgeted for. Celebrated! �� As an institution that teaches STEM curriculm, we know that Science is inherently about risk taking… though often calculated. Failure is not only a genetic component to taking risks, it is an evolutionarily selective trait that makes “taking risks” an important step in the path toward creating, developing, advancing, transforming etc… Perhaps you have heard the phrase “Fail fast, fail often….” and in a scientific conversation perhaps this works… but this isn’t a scientific conversation, this is an emotional one. Risk means not knowing what the outcome will be. It means the possibility of failure, and this can be hard to embrace.
#24: Why don’t we take more risks? I want to ask the room, has anyone had an experience when success looked differently than you thought it would? Did you start a project with one set of goals, and deliver a different product?
#25: What is your long game? So what is the difference between takingrisks and being a risk taker? I would like to argue that takingrisks on its own is impulsive, it is an action that is irregular, not a part of your general mindset, and as such, prone to more unpredictable results. Whereas being a risk taker is is strategic it is well planned, and it is a part of your global vision. I am a risk taker, and I have a long game, each of the decisions I make between these two points is calculated. �� Our goal here today is for you all to identify as risk takers.
#26: Hillary Join the community
#27: Susan 5 minutes What does risk look like when you are a museum-lifer?
#28: What does risk look like from the top?
#29: Are the risks we take big enough?
#30: “Risk Taking” is not something we have to do in a vacuum but it is something that as a community we can do collectively and change taken at this level can be truly transformative.
