Hey Jean,
We in MS use the institutions that you have listed as the source list
for a call for proposals. We generally get more than the number of
available slots, but not a huge number. Check with Kansas, I've been
told that they commonly get dozens!
Good Luck,
David

Subject: recruiting host sites
Hi and Happy New Year!
I am wondering if any of you have some good tips and creative ideas for
recruiting MoMs host sites. We will be bringing Journey Stories to
Maryland in 2012. For past MoMs tours we've done emails and sent snail
mail to museums, libraries, cultural orgs on our database and used our
museum association's mailing list and I have spoken at the annual
regional museum conference, we've never had an overwhelming response to
a request for applications.
Does anyone have the secret to successful recruiting? Catchy appeals or
promotions? Has anyone directly recruited specific host sites and, if
so, has this been successful?
Thanks for your help.
Jean
