OPRD release – SALEM, Oregon– This fall Oregon Heritage is offering a free workshop on organizational planning and prioritization in five locations around the state, plus one virtual opportunity. These workshops are designed to help heritage non-profits, historical societies, museums, archives, libraries, and other related organizations approach work and project planning in a supportive environment. This workshop series aims at removing that stigma and fear by providing support and a pathway for organizations who’d like to embark on goal-setting journeys or establishing workplans for projects and organizational priorities. This workshop is an interactive opportunity to lay stepping stones for where to begin on this process, especially when and where resources are limited for creating or executing a full-strategic plan, or there is hesitation or fear around that process. The workshops will be presented by Kyrie Kellet, a skilled facilitator and planner in the heritage arena. Kyrie is a National Association for Interpretation Certified Interpretive Planner with over 20 years of experience in museums, parks, and gardens. She specializes in developing plans that allow organizations of all sizes to impact their communities in creative and meaningful ways. She has worked with a variety of small, volunteer-supported museums to leverage the strengths of their communities to do amazing things. Workshop schedule: Newport – December 4th, 1:00pm – 4:00pm; Virtual – December 8th, 9:00am – 12:00pm Attendees can find registration links at: https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/oh/pages/conferences-&-workshops.aspx#four For more information about these workshops or other Oregon Heritage technical assistance, please contact Cam Amabile, at cam.amabile@oprd.oregon.gov.
