directors in not-for-profits is a fundamental part of the
museum/cultural sector, but also remains one of the least understood and
explored parts of our profession. Organizations with robust boards and
sound governance have the potential to revolutionize museum operations,
while the opposite can ruin otherwise healthy organizations.</span></span><div><span><span><br></span></span></div><div><span><span>In this two-day virtual workshop with Chris Creighton-Kelly & France
Trépanier from <a href="https://www.primary-colours.ca/" target="_blank">Primary Colours / Couleurs primaires</a>,
we invite participants to join a support network of peers and explore
how museums came to be, as well as the roles that staff and boards play
in our ever-evolving museum communities. <br></span></span></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div><div><span><span>Come prepared to discuss
complex subjects like how (or even if) organizations can be decolonized,
the role that anti-racism plays in organizational structures, and how
museums can leave behind their colonial origins to become relevant
social spaces. This is a supportive space to ask hard questions and work
together to build a stronger future for our sector. <br></span></span></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div><div><span><span>We strongly encourage museum managers/directors, lead curators, and
board members to attend this session.
