Thanks to everyone who participated today... we had 20 attendees representing Portland, Seattle, Hawai'i, and Utah, plus Oakland, San Francisco, and San Diego. It was a really fun session, with some presentations mixed in with small group discussion and Q & A. Here are some quick moments... James Leventhal of the Contemporary Jewish Museum started us off with a fantastic overview of web 2.0 and what it means for museums... and later Mark Patel of OMSI gave us the overview of his small group discussion.

James Leventhal recently got in touch and asked if I'd post a short update on what's been happening at the Getty Leadership Institute. James’ timing was perfect, as there have been a lot of changes recently.
