| | | | Dear Museum Educators I am so pleased, and honored, to be reporting to you as the next Board President of the Museum Education Roundtable (MER). As a museum educator for 13 years, I am also proud to be a part of this international board of directors and look forward to carrying on the leadership in the 2009-2010 year. Changes in leadership together with returning board members mark a new chapter for the board and MER members. Read more.... | | | | | | | | Fall 2009 J.M.E. Educational Leadership | | | Coming to your mailbox soon...the Fall 2009 issue of the Journal of Museum Education, which features articles organized around the theme of educational leadership in cultural institutions. We would like to hear your reactions to the articles in the Fall 2009 issue. Visit the "Discuss the Fall 2009 JME" page on our site to leave a comment on how the articles might inform your practice or institutional policy. NOTE: MER members in good standing should receive this issue by December 11. If you have not received your JME by then, please contact us. We'll confirm your mailing address and check that your membership is current. | | | Learn more about the JME | | | | Who are your Colleagues? 2009 Member Survey results | | | In Spring 2009 the MER board sent current members an e-mail invitation to complete an anonymous survey that would collect their feedback on the organization's programs, resources, and communication tools, and 139 members responded. The board carefully analyzed members' input and are using it to evaluate current offerings and better serve its members. | | | Download a summary of the survey results | | | | MER has a new web site! | | | MER is now using WordPress, a free, open-source publishing tool that allows users to easily create and customize blogs and websites. With WordPress you don't need to buy expensive web authoring software or know HTML. This tool is handy for an organization that uses multiple authors to update a website easily. Contact us if you would like more information on WordPress. We plan to continue adding resources to the MER site such as links to other museum organizations and conferences that might be of interest to you. We welcome your suggestions, too! | | | Visit museumeducation.info | | | |
