Is your museum focused? Do you have your eye on the future
or are you still looking to the past?
Have you lost sight of your mission or has your mission lost sight of
you? How can revisiting (or developing) your museum’s focus help your
organization?
In 2019, the TAM board took time out of our regular work for
the association to hold a strategic planning retreat resulting in a new vision,
mission, and values for the association. This dedicated time of focus was
invaluable for seeing a new future for the organization which will celebrate
its 60th anniversary in 2020.
This year’s Tennessee Association of Museums’ conference
focus on the things you and your organization are doing (and not doing) to
guide the governance, collections, exhibits, and programs at our institutions.
The theme is diverse and encourages discussions of success and failures in all
areas of museum practice. How can we continue our daily work while striving to
move toward a broader vision that includes our community?
