Description
Small museums face the same challenges as large museums on a tighter budget and with fewer resources. Navigating these obstacles requires strong leadership and effective governance. The creation and use of planning documents and a clear mission and vision are essential to pursuing the long-term health of an organization. This book features concise, grounded approaches to finding and articulating the mission and vision of a small museum. Because a few tools have been invaluable to small museum leaders, the book also highlights the MAP and CAP assessment process, accreditation, and provides an overview of the StEPs program.

Of course I'm instantly suspicious of any organized effort to uncover the trade secrets of small museum management. But I have to admit that Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko and Stacy Klingler have done it. They've gathered together a posse of tried and true generalists who then deliver specialist advice in ways that respect and celebrate the unique qualities of small museums. The secrets are now out; small museum volunteers and novice staff across our country finally have a go-to series of survival manuals.
