[BCMA] Request for Proposals – BIPOC Museum Professionals Network Coordinator

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The BCMA is looking for a Coordinator for the new BIPOC Museum
Professionals Network.

*What is the BIPOC Museum Professionals Network?*

The BCMA Mentorship Program delivers mentorship opportunities and career
development resources to students and emerging professionals in BC’s arts,
culture and heritage sector. This year, the BCMA will expand this program
by introducing a new network that will provide targeted support for Black,
Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC).

Responding to the immediate needs identified by racially marginalized
museum workers, the new BIPOC Museum Professionals Network will enable
access to practical resources, professional development, networking
opportunities, and peer support.

*What are we looking for? *

BCMA encourages proposals from diverse individuals and groups from anywhere
in BC that are interested in building connections and supporting diversity
in museums.

   Professionals Network Coordinator.
