Conversations on the Commons: Planning for Change

Planning for Change
A Conversation on the Commons featuring Kayla Coleman, Executive Director of the New England Museum Association, and Susan Robertson, recently retired Executive Director of Gore Place.
January 19, 2024, 12:00-1:30 p.m.
Despite the fact that we are all planning to live forever, sooner or later our organizations must grapple with the issue of transition and succession. The replacement of an Executive Director or Board President is always accompanied by some degree of angst and institutional change. Executive successions, especially, are a chance to start fresh – they require the organization to take a hard look at its current state, at its aspirations for future programming, and at changes in its mission and focus. Join us for this Conversation on January 19 with Kayla Coleman, recently appointed Executive Director of NEMA, and Susan Robertson, recently retired Executive Director of Gore Place, two panelists on opposite ends of the succession planning process!
Registration is free. REGISTER HERE!
We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the conversation. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive. This Conversation will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel.

Conversations on the Commons
Where people from Massachusetts history organizations get to vent, empathize, laugh, complain, think, collaborate, brainstorm, plan, and in general be up to no good.
