How to Build and Maintain a Website on a tight Budget!
Click HERE for the Flyer!

Websites for museums have become integral to do what we do best. They allow the broadest access to constituents far and wide, while also providing a reliable location for our members and supporters to get information on our programs and services. Yet many institutions (of a variety of sizes) still do not have websites, which is difficult to fathom as their cost and maintenance is very low. Join us for a presentation on how to begin the process of creating, hosting, designing, and enhancing a website for your institution.

Money. (That’s What I Want)
Click HERE for the Flyer!

Money is at the heart of everything in a museum – you need money to repair your building, pay your staff, care for your collections, develop and run programs. Many believe it to be the greatest challenge museums face. So, how do you find money to support your museum?  This program will start with a brief overview of government funding opportunities for museums, some of which are currently accepting applications. It will then lead into a conversation between a funder and museum staff to talk about what it takes to be successful in applying for grants.

  • Breakfast will be served

  • This event is free for members; Non-member fee is $15

  • RSVP by September 13 to 631-765-5500

Stem to Steam?
Connecting your Collections to 21st Century Learning

Click HERE for the Flyer!

Join Beth E. Levinthal, Nancy Richner, Frantz Lucien Jr., and Carmen M. Ostolaza in a round table designed to model a new approach! We will examine Hofstra University Museum’s school partnership as the springboard for participants to begin developing ideas for aligning their programs with a STEAM infused approach to the Common Core. Your tour might already meet Common Core standards but can you communicate that to schools using the new vocabulary? There will be time as well devoted to the questions and concerns of all in attendance.
