AHA’s Education Committee invites our members to attend The Growing Capacity Project for Hawai’i Museums: Holding Space Together, with Mary Ramsay and Mandy Kirchgessner from Nonprofit GrowthGen.
Our presenters will tell us about a project through which their company, Nonprofit GrowthGen, LLC, partnered with Bishop Museum and a team of local project advisors to design a mentoring and training program focused on capacity-building skills for museums and museum-like organizations in Hawaiʻi. The aim of this work – called the Growing Capacity Project – was to:
-Expand capacity in and partnerships among Hawai’i museums, cultural organizations, and museum-like entities;
-Provide workforce development; and
-Support the professional development of staff working in this sector.
These free programs prioritized Native Hawaiian participants and those working in Native Hawaiian-serving organizations.
Mary and Mandy will share their experiences and insights as project facilitators for the three-program initiative that ran from Summer 2023 through Spring 2025. Resources and lessons learned will be shared, as well as the impacts of this online mentoring and training program on our community. Participants are welcome to bring questions or ask questions that arise during the presentation.
The AHA educational committee cordially invites you to join us during this presentation and hear about the lessons learned that can be applied in your respective institutions, and our future inter-institutional collaboration!
Webinar registration is now closed.
