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!
This AHA members VIP tour will be on July 21st from 9 AM to 12 PM.

Please join us on Thursday, December 19th, 2024, for an AHA Webinar, “How-to SNAC” with our presenter, Jerry Simmons.
We will learn about SNAC (Social Networks and Archival Context), which is a free, online resource that helps users discover biographical and historical information about persons, families, and organizations that created or are documented in historical resources (primary source documents) and their connections to one another. Users can locate archival collections and related resources held at cultural heritage institutions around the world. SNAC is an international cooperative including, but not limited to, archives, libraries, and museums, that is working to build a corpus of reliable descriptions of people, families, and organizations that link to and provide a contextual understanding of historical records. At its core, SNAC leverages the EAC-CPF (Encoded Archival Context-Corporate bodies, Persons, Families) schema to organize and share archival authority data widely.
Our speaker, Jerry Simmons, is the former National Archives and Records Administration’s Lead External Agency Liaison to the SNAC (Social Networks and Archival Context) Cooperative. Jerry previously held roles as the Team Lead for Authority Control for ARC (Archival Research Catalog) and DAS (Description and Authority Service), and coordinator of NARA’s NACO (Name Authority Cooperative) and SACO (Subject Authority Cooperative) efforts. On October 1, 2024, he took on a new role as a Management Analyst in the National Archives Office of Innovation. Since January 2023, he has served as an Adjunct Professor in Simmons University’s School of Library and Information Science (Boston), teaching graduate courses on archival access and use, and oral history in archives and libraries.
