8. I have been asked to ask all my colleagues in the museum world to spend 15-20 minutes completing an important survey of the current workforce, by the end of the month. I’ve done it and I believe it will produce some valuable information: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ACEMuseumWorkforce.
9. Finally, may I take this opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to Kayleigh Boyle, Museum Volunteer Co-ordinator on the SWIM project, for all her excellent work helping the museums of north and east Cambridgeshire. The project is now ending and I will miss the many cheerful contributions Kayleigh has made to supporting the museum workforce over the last year. Best of luck for the future Kayleigh!
