I’m off this morning to the Washington Museum Association Conference in Pullman, WA. Putting my work with the Whidbey Writers Workshop and Washington State History Museum to good use, I’m speaking twice. Once on Thursday, “Right-Sizing” Your Education Programs During the Economic Crunch” and once on Friday with “Writing to Connect with Young Audiences.” Both presentations draw from a number of projects located at various museums around the country as well as the children’s literature field.
These conferences are great fun, and putting together these presentations always helps me align my thoughts on key topics facing museum educators, exhibit developers, and writers around the country. The only problem is that these subjects could be day-long workshops in their own right! One hour is a tight fit.
Ah well, I like a challenge.
