Unlocking the Future: Keys for Success 2012 SCFM Annual Conference March 7-9, 2012 Georgetown, SC
"To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you." Tony Dorsett
How do you define success in your organization? This year's conference will focus on providing "keys for success" to museums of all different sizes, styles and focuses. Come and share your experiences and ideas for what will help guide museums successfully into the future. Discuss ideas on staying motivated, continuing to adapt, and engaging visitors in this fast paced, quickly changing world.
Keynote speaker Angela Mack, Executive Director and Chief Curator, Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, SC, will provide her 25-year perspective of the museum community in South Carolina through the lens of her own evolution and career, bringing it into the present using the Gibbes' forthcoming renovation as an example of progress and the future of the SC museum community.
Thursday evening's silent auction and low country boil will feature big-ticket items such as a 3-day ocean front vacation in Cherry Grove, SC, donated by the Blockade Runner Hotel; two tickets and an overnight stay for the Fabulous Derby Bash in May, donated by the Lunney House in Senneca; and several beautiful pieces of local pottery as well.
