Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the second 2021 Conference Series episode of Museums @ the Mic!
In this episode, join the Alberta Museums Association (AMA) as we take a look at our June Conference Event, part of the 2021 Conference Series. We talk about proposing and reviewing sessions with Brittany Cherweniuk and Jill Horbay, members of the 2021 Program Committee, before learning about tie-in content with Nicole Balsdon from the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. There's also another Roundtable clip in this episode! This time, Meaghan Patterson, Executive Director / CEO of the AMA, talks with three former Executive Directors about the future of the organization (you'll hear the familiar voices of Adriana Davies, Gerry Osmond, and Alexandra Hatcher in that clip). The full conversation will be released as a bonus episode later this summer, and listen through the episode to learn of another special bonus episode coming soon! We receive a special anniversary message from a special keynote guest before hearing about how Nancy Nickolson's personal interest in old skills turned into a social media sensation for the Royal Alberta Museum during lockdown.
If you want to learn more about our Conference, including registering for our June, September, or November events and viewing our interactive June event program, visit the AMA’s website at museums.ab.ca!

Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
