On-Line Interpretive Training Resource

I've been following the progress of the Missouri-Kansas partnership to develop a "Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area." The group just sent out a great link to a web site for the National Park Service and "Tourism Professionals." Forget the "professional" part; even if you're an untrained volunteer, your business is interpretation, and the only question is whether you're developing your talent. Here's a place to investigate! -Michael Bouman

"Consulting Days" at Museums

Are you confused by the term, "charette?" Are you worried that outside consultants will say things that will make you feel bad? These are the usual obstacles to asking about our free consulting service for local museums and cultural institutions. We schedule these "consulting days" on a rolling basis with no deadlines, and we have a great record of helping people see more of their own potential and take immediate steps toward upgrades in the way they operate. The 2008 calendar is open, and I await your call. Information is on our web site.
