Days At The Museum

How are you shaping the museum's digital future?
I would not dub myself the digital expert, but I am engaging us in a major review of our digital work, and how we can engage with our audience in a much more interactive way. When we began venturing online, it was about telling the world in a new forum and a new venue who we were. Now we're at least as interested in hearing from the public about how they want to engage with us and what are their topics of interest.

Why should an M.B.A. consider a nonprofit career?
They should consider it because it's absolutely fascinating work that takes up almost all the same questions that you would confront in running a for-profit institution, with a great and extraordinary bonus that you're changing lives and often societies. Oftentimes people think that a nonprofit must have easy hours, but we work very, very hard here. But we laugh along the way.
