The John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage's ongoing lunch-time speaker series, Public Humanities Now, has gone virtual. Join us as we host the Executive Director of the New England Museum Association, Dan Yaeger, for his presentation, Covid and Chaos: How Museums Are Navigating the Crisis. With 3,000 members throughout the region, the New England Museum Association has been a hub for keeping museums and museum people connected during the coronavirus crisis. Here’s your chance to speak with NEMA Executive Director Dan Yaeger about the latest from the front lines of museum leadership, how people are coping, and the short/long-term prospects for museum careers. Dan Yaeger has been NEMA’s executive director since April 2010 and has a 20-year history with museums, most recently as the director of the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation in Waltham, Massachusetts. He has served as a marketing communications consultant to institutions including the Cleveland Museum of Art, Peabody Essex Museum, Museum of Fine Arts/Boston, Portland Museum of Art, Currier Museum of Art, Mariner’s Museum of Virginia, Old Sturbridge Village, John F. Kennedy Library, and Plimoth Plantation. He holds a BA from Gettysburg College and a master’s degree from Harvard. All are welcome to join -- please visit the event page for the zoom address and password for this talk. The 25-minute presentation will be followed by 30 minutes for questions and discussion.
