2023 Resume Review and Panel Discussion – Finding Your Seat: Assessing Your Organizational Culture, April 25, 2023

SEMC and AAMG teamed up again to present this engaged program to help emergent members of either organization make moves in their careers and connect with colleagues as they prepare to enter the field.

In this installment of The Launchpad, panelists discussed different types of museum staff cultures and structures, how to decipher/deconstruct a job description and understand an organizational chart.


Taking Off – November 9th, 2022 Recording

During this moderated discussion we heard from mid-career professionals who have recently changed roles and advocated for themselves to reconnect with the field. Gain valuable knowledge from these colleagues on three primary topics:

-How to reconnect with your position, your institution, and your colleagues to combat burnout, 
-How to negotiate professional growth time and enhance your work environment, and
-How to step into a new role with knowledge and confidence.
