Join OMA for our December 14 Webinar: Meaningful Frontline Staff Management and Engagement
(Please Note: You must be logged in to register)
Management during a pandemic has presented enormous challenges to the field that we have never seen before. However, the basics of staff engagement and management remain the same. Empathy and accountability are the underpinnings of a solid department that breaks down barriers between the back and front of house employees.
Drawing from real life examples, presenters Daniel Corti and Cynthia Helmstetter from Visitor Experience Group (VEX) will discuss how middle and senior managers can support their frontline staff and engage meaningfully – both during COVID and beyond. In addition to their work with VEX, both of our speakers have close to two decades of management experience in museums. Come be inspired and energized by the passion they share for creating excellent guest experiences and keeping staff engaged!
About our speakers:

She has opened two major museums in Philadelphia in under ten years; including, the staging, opening and managing guest services at the Museum of the American Revolution and Barnes Foundation. The experiences of developing new programs, staffing strategies and floor operations have deepened her passion for problem solving and sharing her knowledge with others.
