In so many areas of our regular life the climates are changing from what was usual in the past. In the museum world, sustainability and shifts in climates are happening too, and encompass a broad range of topics and impacts.
Of course, museums think about sustainability regarding their environmental impact, but also in terms of financial sustainability, the changing climate of visitor and donor behavior, sustaining and supporting the workforce, the future of grant and foundation support, shifting volunteer demographics, changing trends in tourism, and more - all while sustaining and staying true to their mission.
Museums across Ohio are tackling the many facets of sustainability so they can remain strong, vibrant, and essential community cornerstones no matter what future climates bring.
Join us in Sandusky, April 13-15 as we explore these topics and more at the 2024 Ohio Museums Association's Annual Conference: Sustaining Museums for Future Climates<https://ohiomuseums.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5b899769a472077f0ff0e1584&id=e767f475d7&e=62cda6f278>.

It is hard to imagine an era of more turmoil in our sector and trends indicate the winds of change aren't dying down. While the pace of change may be paralyzing the values and impact of our work are more necessary than ever.

How does an organization align board and staff to balance short-term survival needs with the vision and decision-making necessary to build toward longer-term sustainability?

Steve Zimmerman, co-author of the best-selling books, Nonprofit Sustainability and The Sustainability Mindset, lays out the core competencies and approach necessary for board and leadership today to ensure the values and the mission of your organization endures long into the future.

AND, get more in-depth information from Steve during our Keynote Leadership Afternoon Workshop - Presented by Ohio Humanities
Pursuing Sustainability: Using the Matrix Map to Make Strategic Decisions
Nonprofit sustainability lies in committed, passionate leaders coming together with a shared understanding of the organization's business model to make strategic decisions to adjust to the dynamic environment and constituent needs.

Steve will dive deeper into the matrix map, a visual tool to engage nonprofit leaders in difficult discussions to drive exceptional impact in a financially viable manner. The matrix map allows board and staff to understand their organization by integrating mission impact and financial viability in a way that allows them to frame choices and make the adjustments and investments necessary to strengthen the business model.

Participants will gain experience with a tool they can immediately use to engage staff &  board in the pursuit of nonprofit sustainability.

Sunday Conference Workshops
OMA is proud to present two workshops on Sunday, April 14 as part of OMA 2024:

Volunteer Engagement Fundamentals: How Your Organization Can Adapt to the Changing Volunteer Landscape
COVID shifted the landscape of volunteer engagement. Many older adult volunteers never came back to their volunteer positions, younger volunteers are more inclined to volunteer virtually or in one-time opportunities, & recruitment can seem tougher than ever.
Join ServeOhio to discuss current trends in volunteer engagement & discuss best practices for recruitment, retention, & strategic volunteer engagement to strengthen and sustain your volunteer program and your mission.

Registration for this event is additional and separate from Sunday/Monday and Monday-Only registration. For complete details, see the Sunday Conference Workshop page<https://ohiomuseums.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5b899769a472077f0ff0e1584&id=09d1000259&e=62cda6f278>.

Audio and Deaf Cafes: Disability Centered Programs for All
Art Possible Ohio and artists Elizabeth Sammons and Mania' Pothorski share this lively workshop on the benefits of disability centered programs. The group will overview 2 successful examples: Audio Café and Deaf Café, held at Wexner Center for the Arts last year. Writing and drawing prompts will be incorporated into the workshop.
Registration for this event is additional and separate from Sunday/Monday and Monday-Only registration. For complete details, see the Sunday Conference Workshop page<https://ohiomuseums.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5b899769a472077f0ff0e1584&id=47310bf344&e=62cda6f278>.
