In a Community Science Workshop. A couple months ago, I visited a Community Science Workshop for the first time in Watsonville, CA. I sat down with Emilyn Green, Executive Director of the Community Science Workshop Network , to learn more about their history, design, and engagement strategy. It thrives. In California.

For the past five years, each summer, the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History has hosted MuseumCamp. This bootcamp will be led by me, Nina Simon, MAH executive director. I've learned a lot from attending and teaching workshops this year. And it's not just for museum people. Registration is first come, first served.

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. But the point is that the MAH, like just about every other museum in the known universe, was content to define the museum experience as something removed from the outside world, a rarefied church-like space of refined artistic reflection.

Different culture has different understanding of philanthropy and we use different words to represent various aspects of the concept. In most cultures, philanthropy existed a long time ago. Not only as a professional member, I served as a chapter president and on International Board of Directors for the past 4 years.

On Friday, I facilitated the final face-to-face workshop for the Social Media Lab for 25 arts organizations inspired by Thomas Edison’s approach. The whole idea got started a year ago when James Leventhal who is Deputy Director for the Contemporary Jewish Museum asked me if I would design some trainings for the local arts community.

I had just started at the MAH as the new executive director. The museum was in huge financial trouble. I'd spent years leading workshops around the world as a consultant. My expertise was on inviting strangers to participate in public settings like museums. I remember the first staff meeting I ever ran. First names only.

I once asked Eric Siegel, the Director of the New York Hall of Science, why museums are rarely innovative shining stars on the cutting edge of culture. He commented that as non-profits, museums are built to survive, not to succeed. Is it true of your museum too? To make it, museums need to survive AND succeed.

I’ve managed campaigns ranging from about $5 million to over a billion dollars in health care, education, arts and culture, and advocacy sectors. So the role of the board, every nonprofit has a board of directors, which as we know provides strategy, oversight, and participation. It builds a culture of trust and respect.

Exhibit labels in science centers ask more questions than any other kinds of museums, and yet the questions are often awful--teacherly, overly rhetorical, and totally meaningless. asked by a cop or mother, garners the full attention of asker and askee alike, museum questions like "what is nanotechnology?,"

Board fundraisers – Your nonprofit board of directors is the governing body of your organization. You can procure items that encourage residents to explore the city in a fun way, such as local restaurant gift certificates or tickets to museums or sports games. People can bid either in-person or virtually with a mobile app.
