Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=490123

As baby boomers begin to retire, some Gen Xers are moving into upper management positions in a rapidly evolving museum ecosystem. Others are gaining influence outside the field. How have they faced these changes and worked to make change, and how will they affect the museum world? Professionals with a range of backgrounds will share their stories and lead a discussion about the challenges facing Generation X.

Learning Objectives:

• Define Generation X and three major challenges facing Gen X museum professionals.
• Debate solutions to these challenges.
• Connect with at least one person facing such challenges.
