Hallmarks at Home – Purpose: Find your why

Find your why. Learn how to create a clear, compelling purpose for your museum

AIM’s first Hallmark is Purpose; a clear statement about why you are there which should be shared by everyone in your museum.

Learn how to create your pitch – it’s more complex than you imagine!  Once you have a pitch, if someone asks you about your museum or you’re bidding for funding, you can clearly state why you exist and why you deserve to be supported.  It will become a very powerful statement and will transform how you think about yourself.

What this workshop will cover:

• be clear about your purpose: what is your museum for?
• how to ensure you all share the same vision
• vision, mission and purpose: are they different and does it matter?

This workshop will be interactive, engaging and stimulating.

What you will take away:

• the beginnings of your vision and mission
• how to involve all your volunteers/staff in creating your purpose
• top tips on creating a shared vision and mission
