COOP is important as a good business practice, and cultural institutions would benefit greatly from having a document that establishes policy and guidance for ensuring that critical functions continue even during a crisis. Often this type of planning is neglected in other emergency planning initiatives. However, the shut down due to COVID-19 has shown just how valuable this document can be for your institution. Please join the ARCS Emergency Sub-Committee and industry experts to discuss how collections managers and registrars should and can play an integral part in creating a COOP for their institutions. Areas of discussion will include how to be an advocate for your collections and their care during a long-term closure, how to effectively communicate with essential staff as they assist with collections duties such as environmental monitoring and pest management, and how to talk to lenders and insurers about the care of the collection while not onsite. Join the ARCS Emergency Subcommittee on our YouTube Channel May 14 at 2:00 p.m. ET!
