Museum Management On-line Course

The Instructor teaches participants how to administer a successful museum efficiently and effectively. Participants will engage in discussions about the changing cultural climate and its effect on museum operations.

Buy-In: Getting All of the Staff to Support Preservation On-line Short Course

$99

Description:

To get anything done in your museum, you often need to get other staff to support the idea. All too often, preservation is left to one or two staff members and others believe it doesn't apply to them. For example, it is hard to successfully implement a pest management plan without full staff support. Everyone must buy into the notion of preservation. But how? Readings will introduce some ideas and participants in this course will brainstorm with your instructor about what works, what might work - and what doesn't.

Heritage Economics for Interpreters, Planners, Site Managers, and Educators

$499

No matter how good an interpreter, interpretive manager, interpretive center director – interpretive site board member or any other interpretive managerial position you serve – success (staying open and in business), or lack of operational success (closing) is based on an understanding of interpretive management economics.
