Virtual Program: Collaborating with Integrity and Reciprocity

Effective and Equitable Community Engagement: Collaborating with Integrity and Reciprocity 

Join CCLI (Cultural Competence Learning Institute) to learn how museums can build effective and equitable partnerships with community organizations.

During this session, you will:

• Learn statistics about community engagement in the museum field from the recently published National Landscape Study
