The Heart of Leadership: Reconnecting Who You Are With What You Do - April 27, 1:30-4:30pm
Presented by Dawn Montgomery and Matsya Siosal, local facilitators with the Center for Courage and Renewal
At the heart of authentic leadership is the courage to be fully human, to take risks, to care deeply and to take action even in the midst of challenge and uncertainty.The individual and collective impacts of polarization, isolation, injustice and burnout threaten our country's fragile democracy and our own ability to live and work sustainably. This Courage and Renewal workshop offers participants time and space for deep reflection in community and an opportunity to reconnect and renew your sense of purpose and ability to lead from a courageous heart. Through personal reflection, readings, and small and large group discussion, you will learn a framework and skill for cultivating trustworthy space when engaging with individuals and communities, and using Parker Palmer's 5 Habits of the Heart of Democracy, connect with the unique gifts you bring to the world. We will explore how our interconnectedness, the strength of diversity, the ability to hold space in difficult times, and the capacity to operate with agency and foster community can support you in reconnecting the wholeness of who you are with what you do.

Registration: This workshop will be limited to 24 conference attendees given the structure of the workshop and the material being discussed. We will send out registration instructions for this workshop to conference attendees on April 13.

Make Your Collection Data Work for You: A Pragmatic Approach to Cataloging - April 27, 1:30-4:30pm
Presented by Rachael Christine Woody, Rachael Cristine Consulting LLC
The Pacific Northwest is home to a wide array of cultural heritage organizations with varying budget sizes to accomplish the Sisyphean task of digital collections management. The challenges collection workers face is not insignificant and it can be difficult to know where to start with digital collections management. Our world and our collections are increasingly digital and the ability to deliver collections online is now an undeniable necessity-thanks to a global pandemic. Whether you're a large and well-funded museum, or a volunteer-run organization at a modest shop, having a solid process in place is key to successfully cataloging your collections. There's no one-size fits all solution. The catalogs we use can vary, or you may not have a traditional catalog in place. This workshop will meet you where you are and offer pragmatic approaches for successfully describing collections. Specifically, this workshop will cover: what catalog fields to use (even if you don't have a catalog), where to find the right tags to use so your collections can play well with others, how to tackle cleaning up old or inconsistent data, and how to select the most effective tags. We'll also review Collections Management System (CMS) options, the differences and similarities of a CMS versus a Digital Asset Management System (DAMS), and "hacks" we can use to catalog and publish collections online when we don't have access to traditional museum software.

Registration: No special registration needed for this workshop, all conference attendees are welcome and the link will provided prior to the conference along with the links to all of the conference sessions.

About the presenter: Rachael Woody is the owner of Rachael Cristine Consulting LLC, a firm that provides services to museums, archives, and cultural heritage organizations. She specializes in collections management systems, digitization technology, digital collections management, and digital usership. Previously Woody was at the National Museum of Asian Art of the Smithsonian Institution and the Oregon Wine History Archive at Linfield College, where she successfully launched multiple digital projects that included advanced digitization technology, collaborative portals, and the migration of collection information into collections management systems. She received her Master of Science in Library and Information Science with a concentration in Archives Management from Simmons University, and has 15 years of experience in the museum and archives field.
