MS007: The Mission Statement: Is it really that Important?
Instructor: Peggy Schaller
Date: Nov 11 to 15, 2013
Location: online at 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.
