When my sister first started working with a nonprofit museum, she had a lot to learn about the fundraising process for the organization. The museum had notes saved in their donor management software about the seating preferences for their major donors and that particular donor preferred their regular seat toward the front.

It’s 2019, and a whole lot is changing in the museum and nonprofit world. That’s not to mention how strained museums already are in terms of resources. According to the American Alliance of Museums, the average museum has 6 volunteers for every paid staff member , a ratio which s oars to 18:1 in museums with budgets under $250,000.

The Iron Hug is an acronym for the management practices that I have found most effective in fostering relationships with volunteers that lead to effective service and increase retention.

Museums have used games to engage visitors for decades. SR: I came to games before I came to museums. My grandmother cheated at Candyland and uno. :) Games, I think, have a nice Venn diagram of overlap between museum lovers. I love thinking we're getting new museum lovers through games. How did you get into museum games?

Increasing retention: Increases in retention can come from better engagement and improved abilities to track those that are in danger of leaving your organization. Finally, you have her son Tim, who is 25 years old and works as a curator at a museum. It builds on what you know. Nina, on the other hand, gives about $50.

Associations have a long history as thriving communities of individuals and companies with common interests and goals. Throughout their history, associations have, in many ways, remained unchanged in form and function. They serve as educators, advocates, idea forums, and compilers of industry research and best practices.

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. I've long admired this museum for its all-encompassing commitment to community co-creation , and the visit was a kind of pilgrimage to their new site (opened in 2008). I'm always a bit nervous when I visit a museum I love from afar. What if it isn't what I expected?
