These GW Museum Education Program grad students were my delight this past semester. I’m so proud to see them advocate on Capitol Hill for the important role museums play in our communities. Each every day they help make the world a better place! @GW_MESA #BeautifulInsideAndOut

Prepping for @AAMers Museums Advocacy Day but catching up with some of the prerecorded sessions! From Strategic Storytelling: communicating your museum’s impact - “Data alone doesn’t move us. Sharing information is not the same as crafting a narrative.”

So much goodness during the "60 Ideas in 60 Minutes: Sizzling Ideas in Audience Engagement and Inclusion" session at #AAM2021. Key takeaways: Museums must be anchors in their communities. Engage! Engage! Engage! Action, not loaded statements, speak louder than words.

YES—posting suggested donation prices for community days at museums is an exclusionary practice that makes people feel unwelcome and ashamed when they can't pay. Sandra Cisneros: "Why would you invite someone to your house and make them feel ashamed?" #AAM2021 #AAMSMJ
