Hello,



There has already been some great feedback from members about our BC
Museums Week program!



For those of you interested in planning an activity or event for either BC
Museums Week or International Museum Day, check out these resources to help
you get started:

   - ICOM has put out an IMD 2017 Resource Kit
   <http://network.icom.museum/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/imd/IMD2017_museums_kit_ENG.pdf>
   for museums – lots of great event ideas, step-by-step tips on maximizing
   your event, and press releases for IMD

   international exposure!

I will do my best to share resources – for both events and topics during BC
Museums Week – as they come across my desk.  Feel free to share any you
have using the Facebook event or the listserv!



Don’t forget, the BCMA is also running a scheduled series of themed social
media days throughout BC Museums Week.  Join the conversation using
