The conference featured three days of learning, collaborating and networking with keynote speakers, 12 sessions and four pre-conference workshops. Topics included accessibility, racial justice, NAGPRA, status of the heritage field, COVID-19 recovery, advocacy, fundraising, and digital education. The conference also featured the OMA annual member meeting. #OMAWaMA |

Evaluation resultsConference evaluation results are in! We asked registrants some questions on the registration form, and though an overall evaluation after the conference. On the overall evaluation, respondents enjoyed the conference, learned something to help them take concrete steps, appreciated the virtual aspect and valued the collaboration between OMA and WaMA. One thing respondents missed was opportunity to see other attendees and network with them. |
