In order to prepare for the future, the Greater Vernon Museum has undertaken a planning process with the support of the Regional District of the North Okanagan. The goal is to create strategic and business plans to guide decision making, governance, operations and our transition to Greater Vernon’s new Cultural Centre. The new plans are also required for our grant applications to funders including the RDNO and BC Arts Council.
A number of board and staff workshops, input and planning sessions as well as a survey of our membership has been facilitated by Pinnacle Communications & Media over the summer. We also want to gather public input on some of these ideas and plans. While this consultation will be ongoing, one opportunity to provide input will be at our upcoming Open House on Thursday, September 19.
The public open house will include:
information about and draft content from the strategic and business plans including the draft vision and mission statements
member feedback
possible new programs ideas
update on the new Cultural Centre
a special Sneak Preview of our upcoming exhibit, entitled “Vernon Takes Flight.”
We hope to see you at our Open House! Drop by anytime between 4 - 7 pm, Thursday, September 19.
