SUMMARY:Contested Narratives: Chicago’s Monuments
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Tiffany Tolbert\, National Trust for Historic Preservation\n\nPanelists: Jaime Rivera \, Sherry Williams\, Joi Boose\, Elsie Hector Hernandez\nMonuments and memorials frame our built environment in Chicago\, both reflecting and impacting our civic life. Concern over which figures are memorialized is not new. However\, over the past year the global pandemic and racial justice movements shed further light on deeply entrenched racism and discrimination which have been normalized in the fabric of our society. The Chicago Monuments Committee arose as a response\, and opportunities now exist for the public to weigh in. Discover the complex legacies certain monuments embody\, and foster a deeper understanding of why some communities are deeply impacted by their presence while others remain oblivious. Panelists will also discuss alternative strategies of enlivening our public spaces.

SUMMARY:Transforming Fundraisers
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Suzy Kahn Weinberg & Adam Yoffe (Big Shoulders Stories)\nPanelists: Josey Nieto\, Nitha Nagubadi\nAspirations to reopen our cultural centers are on everyone’s minds. Yet\, many of the creative virtual tools developed and harnessed over the past year to amplify our stories and make our collections accessible to wider audiences have become key to our work and are likely here to stay. The ability to develop creative techniques for revenue generation including online fundraising\, virtual galas\, attracting corporate rentals\, and apps that attract new audiences will be key to financial sustainability in this new age of in-person and virtual engagement.
