Dear MCN Members and Friends,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Museum Computer Network, I am pleased to announce that our new three year strategic plan is now available on our MCN website, www.mcn.edu. Click the link on the homepage to get to either the full plan, or the Executive Summary. Back in November at the conference in Pasadena, we introduced the draft of the plan and invited you all to critique it. We held a meeting at the conference for feedback, and we had an online feedback mechanism. We have taken everyone's comments into consideration, and have made improvements based on your suggestions. For example, you wanted greater transparency in the governance of MCN. Having the new strategic plan on the website is the first step. Soon we will be posting job descriptions for Board level positions currently in existence, and we will post descriptions for volunteer positions we would like to fill. Later this year, we will begin posting Board Meeting summaries, so you may become acquainted with the inner workings of those meetings. We heard your feedback about conference fees and scholarships, too. The plan includes examining conference fees this year and determining if they can be lowered without compromising MCN's long-term fiscal stability. If we can lower the fees, we will. And we will investigate expanding the scholarship program. Please take a few moments to go through the plan; I think you'll like what you see.
