The Upstate History Alliance is pleased to announce the schedule for this year’s Roundtable Discussion Series. UHA Roundtables offer an opportunity for museum staff and volunteers to discuss issues, concerns, ideas and success stories with their peers.

Unless otherwise indicated, Roundtable Discussions take place between 10:00a-12:00p, and are followed by a short Grants for Museum Advancement Information Session. This Information Session will introduce the Grants for Museum Advancement, also known as Get Ready! Get Set! and Go! Grants, as well as outline eligibility, provide examples of successful grant applications, and discuss tips for successful grant writing.
