The BAFM One Day Conference & AGM is on Saturday 30th September 2017 at London Transport Museum, Covent Garden, London WC2.
The theme is Museums, Members and Friends: A harmonious relationship? The day will explore the relationships between Museums and their Friends’ organisations, against a background of a trend for museums to set up their own membership schemes.
The first keynote speech by Mike Zeidler – Partnership Manager of “Happy City” ‘How to develop enduring Friendships’, will address the wellbeing benefits of volunteering and the significant influence volunteers can have on the ‘feel’ of a place. Mike Zeidler will examine the issue of relationships and ways of keeping channels clear, appreciative and constructive between Friends and their chosen Museums.
The second keynote presentation by Sam Mullins, Directer of The London Transport Museum and Barry LeJeune, Chairman of the Friends will explain the positive relationship between these two separate, but supportive, bodies, describing past successes and future challenges. In the afternoon there will be the BAFM AGM and short presentations on the conference theme by three other London Museums and a general “open forum” discussion.
