2010 Spring Workshops
Thanks to all of our volunteers, speakers, and most of all the PAG Chairs for putting together a terrific season of workshops! Because of the Chairs ability to identify timely topics, nearly 500 people participated in 12 workshops, making for record attendance this year. Cheers to the New England museum community!
