Ohio History Connection

The Ohio History Connection - which maintains a network of more than 50 historic sites and museums across the state that are managed by local partners - will conduct an online professional development program to help the network become better managed, more resilient and better able to serve the public. Local partners include parks and recreation departments, travel and visitors bureaus, and other non-profit organizations committed to preserving the stories of Ohio's communities. The professional development training modules will strengthen network members' capacity and organizational management. Modules will focus on topics such as board development; collections handling; engaging with local communities; and essential museum knowledge for boards, directors, staff, and volunteers from outside the museum field.
