    Fundraising Strategies For Museums, Arts & Culture and Heritage Organizations

    Tracey Anderson - Friday, December 09, 2011

    The Fundraising workshop was attended by 18 participants and delivered by Judy Oberlander. The two days were filled with information on planning, development and execution of a well written fundraising plan. The group shared ideas and developed strategies for their individual organization. I generated a fundraising list of ideas for the participants from the notes I took and distributed them. The group noted that they would like to stay in contact and develop a ‘book club’ or at least a think tank on fundraising. YHMA will help with this facilitation.  ..

     

     

    Additional NWT meetings on Monday

    Tracey Anderson - Tuesday, October 18, 2011

    I met with Deb from the NWT Mining Heritage Society. She gave me a tour of the museum, warehouse and site. This was a treat, I hope I did not over whelm her with the ideas I gave. This organization has a vast collection of mining memorabilia everything from paper work; sign in tags to sports equipment. They are working towards finding funding for a new building to house this collection. If you have any ideas I know they would appreciate the input.   ..

     

     

    NWT day three presentations

    Tracey Anderson - Monday, October 17, 2011

    So we all talk about the 6th degree of separation, coming to the meeting here in Yellowknife I never expected to see an old friend from college. What a great surprize to meet up with Kathleen who is working in Inuvik and doing well. We took time over dinner to catch up. I would like to say thank you for sharing your stories and listening to mind and I look forward to doing this again soon.  ..

     

     

    Part II The Collaborative Strategic and Sustainable Thinking for Cultural Organizations

    Tracey Anderson - Sunday, October 16, 2011

    The Collaborative Strategic and Sustainable Thinking for Cultural Organizations group reconvened this morning to discuss our outcomes from the previous day. Common themes arose from this activity and the group all agreed to look at networking and share ideas. On the networking front I spoke to use of List-serves, networks, Linked-in and Social Medias. Boris stood up and announced that “YouTube, Twitter and Facebook have now merged U-Twit-Face is the new social media of choice”.  I have to admit it was a great ice breaker.  ..

    Heading to Yellowknife

    Tracey Anderson - Friday, October 14, 2011

    Heading to Yellowknife, thank goodness it was not Friday 13th I would have ran away screaming after this announcement Pilot announced “sorry for the delay we had mechanical problems!! And waiting for the paper work before we leave” truly after a 6 hour layover it is the last thing you want to hear. Of course flash backs to movies came to mind “May Day”, “Airplane” and who could forget “Destination” All was good I arrive just after 1am safe and sound. ..

    Valdez Conference

    Tracey Anderson - Saturday, September 24, 2011

    The drive to Valdez was spectacular. The roughest section of the road was between Destruction Bay and the border. Very little wildlife was out and the highways were quiet. The foliage was in full show of fall colours. We stopped for dinner at a restaurant called “Fast Eddies” the food was great and they had an all you can eat salad bar.  There was construction on the Richardson highway just before Valdez we could hear the water falls beside us but it was so dark at midnight we could not see them.  ..
