Board Report and Meet your Board! ARCS Update Vol 3 | Update 24
November 20, 2018 | ARCS NewsReport From Your ARCS Board
It's been a busy month! We hope you were able to join us for the ARCS Chat on November 6th, an IPM workshop in Atlanta with CCAHA, and a social at the Museum of Sex in New York.
The board would like to thank you for your helpful thoughts and suggestions in our survey; based on your feedback, we are continuing to develop ARCS' strategic plan. On November 2nd and 3rd the board met with our strategic plan facilitator, Tecker International, to focus and further develop our plan. We had many productive conversations that were greatly informed by your responses. We are excited about defining ARCS' priorities for the next five years.
We are moving full speed ahead on the 2019 conference in Philadelphia, and creating programs and educational opportunities for you in 2019.
As always, please do let me know if you have any questions or suggestions about the future of ARCS. You can email me at President @arcsinfo.org. And thank you for your support of our field.

President, ARCS
Meet Your Board Member
This week we would like to introduce you to Board member Cherie Summers Walcott.
“I have been in the museum profession for a really long time! My first job in the field after arriving from New Mexico was at the Guggenheim Museum, followed by the Museum of Modern Art, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and most recently, after retiring, at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, working part time on a totally different collection with new learning experiences.
I knew from the get-go that the creation of ARCS was a dream come true for our profession. Networking with members and vendors from all over the world every other year for two full days is priceless! I’m thrilled to be on the ARCS Board, where I experience continued growth keeping up with our ever-changing world of technology, while keeping our standards and practical needs firmly in focus. I’m proud that my committee recently completed the ARCS Code of Ethics and I continue to work on our Operations Manual along with other projects. I’m also the ARCS Corresponding Secretary on the Executive Committee.
I recently became a grandmother and feel so fortunate to have my family, as well as my museum family, in my life. Juggling is what Registrars do best, and yes, we can do it all…with planning and patience!”
