	Sustainability for Cultural Heritage Repositories
	or What to Do When the Grant Ends

The Society of Ohio Archivists (SOA) will be hosting a workshop on
Sustainability and Business Planning on Tuesday, October 11, 2005.

Business Planning Workshop Description
Many projects begin with a great idea and some grant funding.   However,
even the most successful projects have trouble determining how to
continue once grant funding ends.  In order to sustain these valiant
efforts, project managers need to plan for sustainability at the
beginning of projects.  Developing a business plan for sustainability
will help "bridge the gap" from noble purpose to business case and help
extends the life of the project.

Workshop participants will come away with an understanding of why
business planning is a vital element of overall project plan
development, the key elements to include in a business plan, how to
create a business plan appropriate for their own institution and
projects,  and ways to identify "institutional champions" who constitute
the target audience for the business plan.=20

Location
The workshop will be held at OCLC Online Computer Library Center, in
Dublin, Ohio.

SOA website soon http://www.ohioarchivists.org  =20
