Advisory Council Meeting

Tell us what you think!

The Western Illinois Museum is transforming from a small history museum to a community hub and we need help with making that happen!

What:
The Board of Directors would like to hear from you! Tell us what needs in the community the Museum can meet and your ideas or strategies on how best to accomplish them.

Who:
Do you wants to see the Museum’s programs and exhibit be the best they can be? Maybe you are a past board member, annual member, or volunteer. Your past experience with the Museum makes you the ideal person for sharing your thoughts and ideas.

How:
We’re going to meeting on ZOOM and hope to hold in person meetings soon. To participate, CLICK below to request the Zoom link to join the meeting.

Meetings will be held once a month on the fourth Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. Join us for the conversations about topics that you think you’d like to share thoughts about.

Have an idea or topic we should discuss? We’ll take the last ten minutes of each meeting for topics or ideas that you’d like to discuss or questions you have about current plans. Or email us your ideas for conversations.
