Big shout out to the Alliance’s Education Committee for putting together such a great conference for us all. Here are some sug- Text box starts here under title block gestions on what to do with all that new knowledge and great information we pick up at any conference. 1. Hold a Big Idea Meeting! Once a year, we bring together all our staff from our three museums and hold a Big Idea Meeting. Everyone is encouraged to share the best ideas they picked up over the year - whether at a conference, a regional meeting, from a visitor, from a book, from visiting another museum - anything works! We gather all those ideas, then as a group, select the big ideas we like the best and add them to our goals for the next year. 2. Share the Ideas beyond your Museum! The Museum Leadership Exchange has a great practice of bringing back ideas for those who may not have been able to attend a conference. And even for those who are able to attend, we often participate in different conference sessions. Everyone shares their best takeaways with the group; the ideas that most impressed them. It is a great way to get out information on new museum trends and practices. 3. Collaborate! I am very excited about some ideas from the conference that have sparked ideas for the Alliance to collaborate with both the Ohio Museum Association and the Ohio History Connection. Let the new ideas you capture be a catalyst for new partnerships and collaboration in your neighborhoods. 4. Grow your Network! I tell my staff to go out and meet at least ten new people at each conference. Just as we can’t let our conference ideas sit in a notebook on a shelf, we can’t let our new colleague relationships die. Reach out and continue that dialog! I hope these ideas are helpful. As we head into the Holidays, I want to wish all our Alliance members a very happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for your continued support and participation of the Ohio Local History Alliance. Best of luck also for all your Holiday Museum events. If you are in my neck of the woods...come visit us on the Polar Express!

We reached 1.4 million people through visitation, programs, outreach and services. It was a great year, as you’ll see in this report. Everything we do is based on our mission as Indiana’s Storyteller and our commitment to collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing our state’s history. We serve as an important resource for educators, students and researchers – professional and personal. We strive to make Indiana’s history relevant to the rest of the country’s history and to the world today. Connecting people to the past is our most important purpose, and we are able to do it in interesting ways thanks to your support and the support of our Board of Trustees and community advisors. Our particularly powerful You Are There about Italian POWs in Camp Atterbury has truly touched visitors to the History Center. You Are There: Eli Lilly at the Beginning brought thousands of people into Col. Lilly’s original lab. Our latest You Are There presents the Battle of Gettysburg in an innovative and captivating style. Our permanent Indiana Experience offerings of Destination Indiana, the W. Brooks and Wanda Y. Fortune History Lab and the Cole Porter Room continue to delight.
