2016-06-27 Thread Eric Longo 
*HURRY UP!*

*APPLICATIONS FOR BOARD CANDIDATES FOR THE 2016 SEASON ARE DUE JUNE 30!*


This year, MCN is looking to recruit *5 members to our Board of Directors*.
Terms will begin in November at the annual conference in New Orleans.

*Why join the board?*
For many of our board members, serving MCN is a way to give back to an
organization and a community that have helped them in their museum careers.
It’s an opportunity to be part of a team of talented museum professionals
who, together, shape the strategic direction of MCN and constantly think
about new ways to better serve the needs of our community.

*Why join now? Who should apply?*
In 2017, MCN will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its founding. We are
looking for people to help MCN plan this exciting milestone and execute the
strategic priorities identified in our 2016-2018 Strategic Plan (
http://mcn.edu/about/mcn-strategic-plan-2016-2018/). While all members of
the community with an interest in serving MCN can apply, we are
particularly interested in candidates who bring specific expertise and
experience in at least two or more of the following key areas:

   - Programming and content around the annual conference
   - Marketing, branding, public relations, and community engagement
   - Professional development
   - Fundraising / development expertise
   - IT / programming / developer

*How to apply*
To learn more about what is expected of board members and how to apply,

[MCN-L] Defining Audio Tour success

2016-06-27 Thread Heather Marie Wells 
Hi all,

We are trying to do some bench marking on defining the success of an audio 
tour. To that end we would like to know what measures you track, how you track 
it, and what you have set as a goal.

Examples might be:
What percentage of exhibition ticket holders take a device
The number of times a track was accessed
What percentage of a track was listened to
The retention of a listener from track to track 

Please note that we are interested in goals that you set for devices checked 
out at the museum and please note if you charge a fee for the tour.

Thanks,
HM
