It is no secret that federal funding cuts and the actions of the current administration have the field making difficult decisions and grappling with the uncertainty of the time. As individuals, we might not have all the answers now, but we are not alone. This session invites participants to engage with the question of "what can the museum field do now and in the next two years to prepare for the unknown future?" Participants will go through asset mapping and collective brainstorming of actions – small and large – that help us ASPIRE to be prepared for what may come.
