The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) is offering its Project Management for History Professionals workshop at the Missouri History Museum in St. Louis, April 12-14, 2011. The workshop is offered free through a generous grant from IMLS. A $200 travel stipend is awarded to workshop participants when the follow-up webinar training is completed. There are a limited number of slots still available for the workshop. The workshop is one of twelve nation-wide workshops offering 35 hours of formal project management training to history professionals. The training, 24 hours of onsite workshop training plus 11 hours of follow-up live webinar training, qualifies professionals in the history field to sit for the project management certification exam through Project Management International (PMI). The goal of the program is to improve how history museums operate by bringing in the expertise of certified project management trainers to teach the fundamentals of project management to history professionals. This workshop instructs history professionals in best practices for establishing project requirements and planning and organizing work to meet them. The program teaches skills that strengthen the processes history professionals apply in their everyday work including exhibitions, education programs, fundraising initiatives, special events, outreach activities, and collections-based projects. These skills are critical to the development of improved processes and, therefore, an institution’s improved ability to serve its community. Applications for the St. Louis workshop will continue to be accepted until all slots are filled.
