Advancing Leadership in Conservation through Communication May 13, 2019 Offsite workshop at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for AIC's 47th Annual Meeting (registration is also open to those not attending the AIC meeting) Co-organizers: Francesca Casadio (Art Institute of Chicago) and Tiarna Doherty (independent)
Following a series on authentic leadership and surfacing one's values as a leader at the AIC meeting in Chicago in 2017; and a workshop on the science of motivation and effecting change in Houston in 2018, we are pleased to announce the 2019 Advancing Leadership in Conservation workshop to be held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The event consists of two parts as detailed below. 1) Advancing Leadership in Conservation: Introduction to the Programs at the Getty Leadership Institute and Center for Curatorial Leadership Department Head Luncheon 11:00 am–12:30 pm Learn about opportunities for advanced leadership development for conservation and other museum professionals. Melody Kanschat, Executive Director, Getty Leadership Institute and Sarah Van Anden, Senior Programs Manager, Center for Curatorial Leadership 2) Advancing Leadership in Conservation through Communication Workshop 1:00 pm–5:00 pm This workshop is targeted to conservators at all stages of their career. The objective is to help participants attain a greater awareness of successful communication strategies when promoting subjects related to the field of conservation. The first part of the workshop is focused on communications and media. The second part is about crafting the “elevator pitch” (a brief, persuasive speech that could be delivered on an elevator ride). Metropolitan Museum Senior Publicist Egle Žygas, and The Wall Street Journal's Brenda Cronin, who covers arts and culture, will present their perspectives on how to best communicate conservation content for general audiences. Topics covered in the presentations will include: what journalists are looking for in reporting conservation-related stories and how institutions establish communications priorities. Ample time for discussion with the speakers will allow participants to learn more about how institutions and conservators in private practice can receive media coverage for the work they do. Melody Kanschat of the Getty Leadership Institute will then lead a hands-on workshop on shaping the “elevator pitch.” Strategies and tips for how to present ideas to colleagues, senior staff, and potential donors and sponsors will be discussed. Registration is now open through the portal of the annual meeting ( https://www.culturalheritage.org/events/annual-meeting/current-meeting/workshops).
