Three museum directors compare experiences in starting their first executive positions. They’ll discuss strategies for joining the community, cultivating relationships with board members and staff, learning new content, developing strategic directions, and navigating the political climate. New directors and others interested in museum leadership will benefit from hearing about our successes (and failures!).

Learning Objectives:

• Attendees will be able to apply basic principles of good leadership at all stages of their careers.
• Distinguish general leadership challenges from those specific to women.
• Attendees will be able to evaluate multiple solutions to common leadership challenges, especially as they relate to succession planning and institutional transition.
