10 Tips for Fundraising Success in 2020 Vital Operations: Museums and Organizational Sustainability The Alberta Museums Association (AMA) 2020 Conference will examine the initiatives, strategies, and practices museums and cultural institutions undertake to build for the future. As museums and their communities face changing economic, political, social, and environmental circumstances, building sustainable organizations is key to the immediate and continuing vitality of the museum sector. In addition, museums now face new operational realities in light of COVID-19 and public health requirements, realities that are impacting everything from funding opportunities to means of engagement. Within the context of these shifting circumstances, Conference 2020 will explore organizational sustainability as one of the most important factors affecting a museum’s operational capacity, potential impact, and long-term growth. This virtual event will focus on the collections, programming, partnerships, exhibitions, leadership, and financial practices that can increase an organization’s ability to be responsive and adapt in changing and uncertain times. Territorial Acknowledgement We wish to acknowledge that the AMA office is located on Treaty 6 territory, the traditional meeting ground and home for many Indigenous Peoples, including the Cree, Saulteaux, Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, and Nakota Sioux Peoples.

From an audit of programs and services, to a review of human resource management, a governance review, and a detailed analysis of revenue and expenses, Hatlie Group and AAM worked collaboratively to identify areas of strength and gaps that needed to be addressed. The result of this work was a plan for long-term viability that included Image courtesy of the Alberta Aviation Museum. adjustments to the museum’s organizational structure, governance practices, and the implementation of a revenue model that ensured ongoing financial support for operations. This session will highlight the various intentional steps the museum went through and provide an honest and open discussion of the challenges – and successes – experienced. Questions to Consider When you think about sustainability for your organization, what is your biggest concern? Would you have answered that question differently last year or before COVID-19? Do you have a strategic or business plan? If you do have a strategic or business plan currently, how is it supporting you in becoming sustainable? If it isn’t, why not? What needs to change?

With a lot of creativity (and in all honesty, a lot of elbow grease), you can turn an outdated or irrelevant space into something special. Over the course of a couple of months in the summer of 2019, and with the help of a couple of summer students, Amy transformed the Canmore Museum’s historic North-West Mounted Police barracks from what was essentially a dusty gift shop into a bright and Transforming the Canmore Museum & Geoscience engaging permanent exhibit and temporary Centre’s space.

Exhibits like these, that interest visitors as well as locals, are the heart and soul of a museum’s work, and this session will inspire and inform attendees on making exhibits that allow their organization to engage with community issues and interest without breaking the bank. Questions to Consider What do you feel is the biggest barrier to your ability to transform a space? What stories would you like to tell? Alberta Museums Association Conference-at-a-Glance Vital Operations: Museums and Organizational Sustainability 7 Meet the Speaker Amy has lived in Canmore for about four years and worked for the Canmore Museum for three. She is interested in making her museum a space where community members can come to have discussions that matter to them and see themselves and their issues reflected back to them in a thoughtful and helpful way.

  • The Calgary Lancaster FM-136 Is Now Owned by Lynn Garrison but Never Registered in the Name of the Air Museum of Canada, and Never Transferred to the City of Calgary
    The First Vintage Flying Wings of Canada at Calgary, Alberta Research by Clarence Simonsen The Calgary Lancaster FM136 The preparation for the long ferry flights of the surplus P-51 fighter aircraft from RCAF storage areas in Western Canada, spurred Garrison into the idea of saving a World War Two Lancaster bomber aircraft. The words of Garrison tell the true story of finding and saving FM136 for Calgary. Source http://www.bombercommandmuseum.ca/photos_lanc/photos_fm136.html "Before Milt Harradence and I began to ferry the Mustangs, we first visited the old RCAF Station Macleod facility, now used by Canadian Pacific Airlines Repair for storage and maintenance. We drove to Macleod on a Saturday afternoon 1960, my 23rd birthday. It is an emotional thing to visit an abandoned airfield that once was full of life, noise, and activity. Now, the silence was only broken by the constant whisper of the wind in the popular tress, the flapping of loose metal against a hangar wall and grass growing through breaks in the parking ramp, and abandoned runways. One segment of the hangar door system was open two feet and we squeezed into the area where our Mustangs were stored. Our Mustangs were nested beneath the large wings of Lancaster bombers, and a couple of Auster fuselages sat wingless against the back wall. Our Mustangs would be saved to fly another day but the B-25s and Lancaster Mk. Xs faced the final extinction, turned into cookware or aluminum siding for new homes It was this moment I decided to save a Lancaster Mk.

Successful partnerships are characterized by shared results, interdependence, and mutual accountability. Under the Investing in Partnerships Policy, The City’s Civic Partners have more than $500,000 in operating or capital investment from The City. This report is focused on Civic Partners with operating funding from The City. The 2018 Civic Partner Annual Report is one aspect of a broader accountability framework for these significant City partners. It provides a snapshot of 19 Civic Partners’ key results in 2018, and how they adjusted to a changing economy, aligned with City strategies, leveraged The City’s investment, and allocated The City’s funding to support their operations. Partners managing and operating City-owned assets also report on capital development investments and plans. Through investment in Civic Partner organizations, Calgarians and visitors have access to acclaimed cultural attractions, programs and services in the arts and culture, conservation, history, and science. Civic Partners support the local economy through tourism and economic development; they offer a variety of recreational and sport opportunities; gather business, community, arts and culture leaders to collectively build a stronger Calgary; and provide opportunities to learn, gather, and discover. For most Civic Partners, the challenging economic conditions in 2018 continued to impact their operations.
