See you in Indy!
Hello! My name is Amanda Wesselmann, and I am the Acting Director of the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum. The Museum consists of the personal study and artifacts relating General Lew Wallace, famous for his service in teh Civil War and authorship of Ben-Hur. As part of a small staff (2 FT, 2 PT), I have participated in all aspects of this museum over the past three years: education, volunteer coordination, exhibit fabrication, development, administration, cleaning the bathroom – you name it! The conference falls at the same time as preparations for our big fundraiser for the year, the Taste of Montgomery County, but it’s such a great opportunity to attend that we are making it a priority to attend as much as we can. I am looking forward to catching up with friends from around the country, meeting new colleagues, and learning ways to improve our operations and programs here. I’m hoping the field trip to the Crawfordsville museums on Wednesday will be a good showcase of small museums, and the Small Museums Roundtable on Thursday should be interesting as well. Of course, the best part of any conference are the evening receptions and dinners after the sessions have finished!
See you in Indy!
