External Email - Exercise Caution Hi Megan, Mass Humanities did mostly virtual meetings and trainings for Moms: Crossroads leading up to the Installation Workshop, which we did in-person. I am so glad we were able to do that in-person! I can't imagine trying to do the installation workshop virtually, especially as a first time MoMs program officer. I've attached a list of our trainings and meeting topics. We did meet at least once a month as a group. I had some particular topics I wanted to cover, but I also spoke one-on-one with everyone a few times to learn about topics the sites wanted to cover as a group. I also met with each site at least once in-person pretty early on so I could see their spaces (Massachusetts is geographically small enough to do this easily). The response has been very positive with the monthly virtual meetings and with the exhibit now touring the sites still want to check-in with each other virtually once a month to hear how things are going and learn from the sites ahead of them in the tour. They are a great group and its been rewarding watching them bounce ideas off of each other and share their excitement for the program together. I hope that helps, Jen Atwood Program Officer Mass Humanities From: Museum on Main Street <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Megan Van Frank Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2022 12:32 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Virtual Capacity Support Models External Email - Exercise Caution Hi MoMS friends, As we prepare to launch our Crossroads cohort in Utah, I am looking for models of capacity support that involve in person and virtual pre-exhibition meetings. I have heard rumors from the mothership that some states are doing monthly virtual meetings and I am wondering how you are pairing that with in-person offerings, how you're breaking out content, and what you're doing in those meetings. I do have ideas but hearing from you all always makes this work even better. If you'd be willing to share how you've been managing this, I'd be grateful. Thanks all!
