A practical and interactive workshop for Chairs, Trustees and Directors led by the authors of AIM’s latest publication: The Next Horizon: The practicalities of turnaround and closure.
AIM recognises that times continue to be particularly tough for many museums since surviving the pandemic – with staff, trustees and other volunteers managing the consequences. This new guide has been written for Trustees and senior staff facing hard decisions over whether their museum survives or closes, and how to plan for either eventuality. The publication sets out to help you address these challenges on a practical basis and in a timely manner.
Who is this event for?
To accompany the guide, this webinar is particularly for those who believe that the viability of their organisation and museum is at risk. The aim is to consider ways of mitigating risk and work with the ambition to secure the continued existence of your museum.
Free and exclusively for AIM members. This online session will take place via Zoom. 20 places available.
