***#ARCSchat October 6 at 1:00 p.m. ET: Career Perspectives Mid-Career
Professionals***
In order to better understand how we move forward with our careers,
sometimes we have to look back. AND, sometimes, we also have to look
sideways. Consequently, #ARCSchat in October would like to unveil a new
series this season called "Career Perspectives" where we hold a roundtable
discussion with our professional colleagues about their own careers at
various stages: emerging museum professionals, mid-career, and late-career.

On October 6 at 1:00 p.m. ET, we begin with three mid-career professionals,
representing different types of collections from different parts of the
world, about how they got into the field, what their expectations were at
the beginning, and what their expectations are now and going forward.

Join the chat live here:
https://www.youtube.com/c/AssociationofRegistrarsandCollectionsSpecialists

Joining us will be:
-Kaia Black: Special Projects and Programs Manager at the National Portrait
Gallery in Washington, D.C.
-Jen Kaines: Head of Collection Services at Royal Armouries, Leeds, UK
-Chakira Santiago: Chief Registrar at the Museum of History, Anthropology,
and Art at the University of Puerto Rico, San Juan.

Additionally, we are always looking for you to share your interesting
collections stories with us for the podcast-only segment "A Day in the
Life". Submit a recording (recording on your phone is fine) of your unique
collections experience to:
info at arcsinfo.org or call 847-440-4294 and leave a message with your story.

Tell us:
1. Who you are
2. Where you work (or worked at the time of the story)
3. Your unique experience

***Webinar Database Blues: An Action Plan for Selection and Implementation
of a New CMS - Registration Now Open!***
Does the mere thought of opening your current database program give you
chills? Are you tired of creating your own little hacks to make your system
“work” the way you need it to? Have you longed for a new and upgraded CMS,
but worry your management will balk at the mere mention of such change?
Please join us for a webinar focused exclusively on selecting and
implementing a new database for museum collections. On November 4 at 1:00
p.m. ET, museum expert and consultant Rachael Cristine Woody will cover how
to identify CMS needs, how to create CMS specifications, how to test and
vet potential CMS options, and how to “sell” getting a new CMS to your boss.

Fees:
Members: $25.00
Non-Members: $35.00
