Check out this great opportunity to meet some of our Public Employees Federation members highlighting their expertise at the New York State Museum.

An interesting exploration of how other states operate their state museums. Kiessling is correct that SOMEBODY should start listening to the staff, who have been advocating for these changes for years in the face of incompetence and apathy in leadership.
