About the event
This webinar will follow up on MuseumExpert.org's first CEO session, presented just before museums started to reopen in 2021. The panelists then discussed how their organizations had weathered the pandemic and what measures they'd taken to survive.
Two years later, this program will review the wave of reopenings and learn how leaders and staff coped and adapted. We have learned in other webinars that many employees faced burnout or other career development obstacles and felt left out of the post-Covid rebuilding process. But how have museum leaders experienced that situation and what are their strategies to rebuild the workforce and foster a corporate culture that takes into account these issues?
Panelists:
Jo Hastings, CEO at Explora, Albuquerque
Kirsten Ellenbogen, CEO at Great Lakes Science Center, Cleveland
Beth Redmond-Jones, Vice President at Monterey Bay Aquarium
