Notes:

  • Please fast forward through the first 3 minutes of the webinar because the audio is incomprehensible due to two microphones recording simultaneously.
  • Slide #43 about the American Alliance of Museums' Museum Assessment Program is missing from the webinar presentation.  However, you can find it in the Styles and Miller powerpoint, which is attached below.
