AAM offers webinars on several different topics that are relevant to almost every career path within a museum. Participants of some of these webinars are eligible to apply for fellowships to reduce the cost of attendance. The great thing about webinars is that you don't have to travel anywhere to take them, and they're a wonderful opportunity to learn more about a specific subject and gather ideas from other AAM members from all parts of the country. Another plus is that you don't have to take off a lot of time from work (unless, you really need a vacation, then it's not such a good thing), it's something that can be done in the comfort of your own home or even your own office, and you don't have to try to cover the expense of flying or a hotel stay.
Some topics to be discussed in the next few months:
1. Education: The value of museums from an educational standpoint.
2. Technology: The idea of handhelds and iPhones in regards to audiotours.
3. Fundraising: Major Gifts and how to keep them.
4. Administrative: Preparing for Disaster
5. PR & Marketing: A specific focus on Museum PR & Marketing
Click here to learn more about each webinar and what fellowships may be available. Just as an FYI, the Education webinar is happening on November 6, 2008, and the application deadline for fellowships is October 3rd. I thought I would throw that in there, since the dates are coming up soon.
