ODN Coffee Chats
Confrontational Collections Conversations – April 5 11AM
Public scrutiny of our organizational missions and collections content feels like it’s on the rise. Whether or not you’ve already faced this stressful scenario, it’s good to be prepared for difficult questions from groups that might not be familiar with your work. Join us to talk about strategies to examine the values we prioritize and how to communicate our intentions to hold fast to them now and in the future – both to institutional leadership and members of the public.
