Museums Alaska Keynote Announced
It's official - museum consultant and organizational coach Alice Parman, Ph.D., will be the Museums Alaska keynote speaker for Sitka 2012! The title of Alice's talk will be "Engaging Communities in Exhibit Development," and directly following that keynote, she will be available for a "Up Close" Q&A session for direct conversations. But before all of that, she will also be leading a pre-conference workshop on Wednesday, October 10th, entitled "Exhibit Makeovers."
Please join us for an exciting set of opportunities to learn more about working with communities in the exhibit-making process. Check out Alice's website and watch for announcements about registration! Our Sitka Host Committee is working hard to deliver a great time for us this fall.

AHS Local Historical Societies roundtable 9/16
The AHS Local Historical Societies committee will be hosting a breakfast roundtable session for history and cultural organizations on Thursday, September 16th from 7am to 8am at the Golden Bear Restaurant (at the Wedgewood Resort).

You may remember sharing stories over pizza in Juneau, quiche in Homer and continental breakfast in Anchorage. We encourage folks to bring copies of membership brochures, recent newsletters or other publications to share. Everyone is welcome. The Golden Bear Restaurant will have a breakfast buffet available for purchase – cold buffet for $8.95 and hot buffet for $13.95.

Two weeks to go!
The final countdown has started - two weeks to go until our big meeting in Fairbanks. There is still time to register and reserve a hotel room at the Wedgewood Resort. There are rental car discount rates also.
Your local host committee is busy putting the final touches on arrangements, getting your conference bags printed (they're gorgeous!), finalizing the schedule and implementing some changes from the draft schedule... all things to make the conference a great experience for everyone!
Fairbanks weather is cooperating as the birch and aspen trees are starting to turn a lovely shade of golden yellow, the highbush cranberry and fireweed is starting to turn a deep scarlet... the skies are that special shade of blue that you only find in Fairbanks. Mornings are crisp, afternoons warm - the perfect combination to feel energized!
See you soon!
