"And I was a reader, I knew even then that I had been given a magnificent opportunity to help create something important that would stand the test of time. So I got to work creating a service organization for black museum professionals and professionals in other museums but in those days the priority was on black museums. That meant developing publications and communication strategies, planning workshops and annual meetings; engaging the field in strategic planning; providing advice and capacity building and serving the Board; and all the tasks that we do as EDs. And fundraising!!!!"
