MAMA-MHC Joint Mini-Conference to be held October 7-8, 2011

In 1971, the same year that MHC was born, another organization was started, The Missouri Museum Associates, which evolved into the present-day the Missouri Association for Museum and Archives (MAMA).   As an element of our museums and library services program, MHC will be partnering with MAMA to host a joint mini-conference on October 7-8 at the Stony Creek Inn and Conference Center in Columbia, Missouri.

This conference will focus on providing practical assistance on basic issues for small and medium-sized organizations, particularly those that have only a modest paid staff or which rely primarily on volunteers.  There will be a reception on Friday night and on Saturday, sessions that will include:

* an introduction to fundraising

* basic care for three-dimensional collections

* developing high-quality, cost-effective exhibit projects

* taking advantage of assessment programs such as MAP, CAP and STeP

Hotel rooms are available at a special rate of $91 per night (contact the hotel directly to make your reservation).   Registration for the conference is $50 per person (includes lunch on Saturday) or $35.00 for MAMA members and students.
