The Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC) will hold its 9th Annual Jekyll Island Management Institute in January of 2009. It is anticipated that the NC Museums Council will provide a scholarship to attend the event. Watch this page for details on submitting an application for the scholarship.
The Council has presented a scholarship, covering tuition for the intensive marketing-related seminar, in past years as well.
In 2008, Ashley Poteat, director and curator at Blandwood, Greensboro, was the recipient, preceded in 2007 by Monica Moody, site manager at Historic Halifax State Historic Site. NCMC selected a candidate for this scholarship as well in 2005 (Catherine Coulter) and 2006 (Nathan Moehlmann).
JIMI, a program created by the Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC), is specifically designed for administrators from new and emerging museums and for museum professionals with subject area expertise desiring knowledge of general museum administration and operations. A sample program is available as a PDF.
Situated on historic Jekyll Island, GA, this highly successful training program provides an eight-day immersion for museum professionals seeking the opportunity to learn management, personnel and interpretive skills from leading experts. Sessions include management styles, administration and trusteeship, financial management and fundraising, public relations and marketing, working with consultants, disaster preparedness, volunteer recruitment and management, exhibition planning and interpretation management, current trends and professional ethics.
Assuming the NCMC chooses to offer a scholarship again for the 2009 program, the deadline for applications will likely be OCTOBER 31, 2008.
