Its funding comes completely from membership fees and conference registrations. Its conference is an opportunity for members to share experiences and learn from each other and from experts in the field. Thus, MCN does not reimburse workshop leaders or program speakers for expenses. It does not waive conference registration fees for workshop leaders or program speakers. Because MCN does want to hear from experts outside its community, it does waive registration for the day that a speaker presents a paper or panel. MCN hopes that these speakers will register for the entire conference. It expects that a member of MCN who is presenting a workshop or paper would be coming to the entire conference and does not waive the conference fee. MCN hopes that a member of the museum community who is not a member but is giving a paper will join MCN and will register for the entire conference. -- Kerridwen Harvey Harvey Heritage Services e-mail: [log in to unmask]
