In response to Covid-19, ANSM moved its training, including the Museum Studies Program to virtual offerings. Once this current wave of Covid-19 is passed, we anticipate gathering restrictions will allow us to return to in-person. As a members-based organization, we feel this decision should be made by the membership. Both forms of training have advantages and disadvantages.

In-Person: offered over full days, provides important networking opportunities, allows for better group discussion, training can be more hands-on, smaller groups result in higher costs to offer training, requires travel, cake can be shared

Virtual: offered over several weeks for just a few hours each week, no travel expenses/time, larger groups can participate resulting in reduced registration costs and more people getting the training, networking much more difficult, people are tired of virtual learning

We want to know which you prefer. Please fill out our short survey below.
