Now more than ever it is imperative for UHA to be the conduit for the sharing of ideas and innovative strategies that will make it possible for constituents to survive and even thrive within these conditions. UHA's leadership will ensure that New York's museums have access to the most cutting edge and successful practices...The board and staff of UHA are in universal agreement that we must continue to provide solutions, ideas and leadership that will guide museums within New York in the fulfillment of their missions and assist them in strengthening their vitality in, and of, their communities.
Evidence of this commitment may be found in our:
- Expanded capability to connect with you to supply resources, answer questions and connect you to a network of professional colleagues - Are you one of our 120+ Facebook fans?
- Re-visioned annual conference - now Museums in Conversation - which drew museum professionals from across the state to Tarrytown to generate a new energy through active discussion
- Advanced strategic partnerships with National, State and Regional museum service organizations
- Earning an IMLS Connecting to Collections Bookshelf Award which expanded our Lending Library's holdings of Collections Care and Management publications
- Awarding 25 Get Set! and 14 Get Ready! grants to facilitate strategic planning and implementation
- Awarding 72 Go! grants, for a total of over $37,000 towards professional development
- This past year has proven to be one of growth and stability for UHA. The combination of a strong strategic plan, careful fiscal management, and a dedicated board and staff provide the sound basis upon which we strengthen our membership.
Like all cultural institutions in New York, UHA has experienced reductions in its state funding but we are committed to continuing the same level of services. As you consider your year-end giving, please take a moment to make a contribution to help continue the good work of UHA.
You may submit your contribution via check to our address at 11 Ford Avenue, Oneonta, NY 13820 or here online.
With best wishes for a joyful holiday season,
Catherine Gilbert, Executive Director
P.S. Please be as generous as possible to ensure that UHA continues to thrive.
