Beyond Land Acknowledgements: Real Collaboration with Tribes & Tribal LeadersWest Muse
Tribal land acknowledgments are rapidly growing in popularity among institutions and organizations, taking the form of opening statements in meetings and conferences, signage, or website messages. One might ask why land acknowledgments are being made in a growing number of settings, including the museum. Acknowledgment is a simple, powerful way of showing respect and is intended as a step toward correcting the practices that erase or freeze Indigenous people’s history and culture while inviting and honoring the truth. However, the land acknowledgment is also at risk of ending where it began, perhaps well-conceived and received, but merely a symbolic gesture with little to no follow-through of engagement and real change. While land acknowledgements are well-meaning, they are no substitute for substantive and ongoing tribal relationships and understandings of tribal land claims.

Planned Giving Opportunities with the Upcoming Transfer of Wealth (Pt 2/2)West Muse
Studies show that $9 trillion in assets will be passed in the U.S. from Baby Boomers to Gen X and millennials by 2027. It is imperative that fundraisers plan thoughtfully for this transfer of wealth because great opportunity exists to secure planned gifts. While many nonprofits focus on immediate funding needs, museums are in a unique position, responsible for long-term institutional preservation and collections care. It is not only prudent but necessary to develop sustainable revenue.
Planned Giving Opportunities with the Upcoming Transfer of Wealth (Pt. 1/2)West Muse
Studies show that $9 trillion in assets will be passed in the U.S. from Baby Boomers to Gen X and millennials by 2027. It is imperative that fundraisers plan thoughtfully for this transfer of wealth because great opportunity exists to secure planned gifts. While many nonprofits focus on immediate funding needs, museums are in a unique position, responsible for long-term institutional preservation and collections care. It is not only prudent but necessary to develop sustainable revenue.
Boards are responsible for the fiscal health of the nonprofit organizations they serve. Not only must they give, but it is essential that they take part in fund development. Many volunteers are uncomfortable in this role. This session will equip staff with tools to train board members about the fundraising cycle and how they can be involved in different phases based on their comfort levels. It will include tips on face to face solicitations.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

The scope of work of the statewide listening tour was a conversation- giving concepts of what we thought thus far and asking for input. Adjusting, giving edited information and asking again for input.
Hundreds of participants from around the state gave input on content, design, multimedia interactives. We invited widely from all variable categories. We created a database of that input where they gave anonymous rankings and ratings and suggestions on everything from the titles of the areas to the constitutional scope of the Museum being integral to the educational mission of our state. “Decision quality data” .Data driven decision making influenced hundreds of your decisions that created this Museum that we have today.
Interesting VS Useful- we need operational intelligence, so we only want data that we can use for future decisions,
Review of significant Museum exhibit research, surveys. Entertainment surveying. News marketing research. Focus on PRECISION AND ACCURACY!! Every discussion began to include the phrase- “Interesting is not necessarily useful.” Would need to have different surveys all being conducted simultaneously without bothering the visitor.
Museum 1.) teaching and community involvement mission, 2.) save $$$. Students Interviews with BSU students, buy BSU shirts, name tag, 3rd party anonymous research.
Survey divided into 3 separate surveys to shorten time. 3 tablets in play at all times.
Emotion cements memory and learning. ALL 748 respondents checked at least one emotion that they felt. 100% of respondents FELT something as a result of what they experienced.
