MoMSers,

It was great to see so many of you last week in St. Petersburg! Here’s some information on upcoming webinars from the American Association for State and Local History that may be of interest to your host communities and any other organizations that work with your councils. The sessions are free to AASLH members AND nonmembers.

The webinar next Thursday on telling good stories will be of particular interest to communities. Linda Norris, the leader of the session, is a great instructor and really passionate about the topic. I’d also encourage communities to consider taking advantage of the January session on engaging new and diverse audiences.

Many thanks,

Robbie Davis
