Note from Beth: I had pleasure of facilitating a panel discussion in October at the recent Grantmakers in the Arts pre-conference on technology and media with Rory MacPherson where I learned about some of the preliminary study result he discovered.

Last week, I facilitated an interactive keynote in Seattle at 2011 Tech for Good Leadership Summit sponsored by Microsoft Community Affairs , in partnership with NPower Seattle.

To run a silent auction , you’ll need to plan many logistical pieces and discuss different considerations, such as how guests will bid on items, what the items you’re procuring are, and how you’ll process donations.

In the spirit of a popular post written earlier this year , I want to share the behind the scenes on our current almost-museumwide exhibition at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, Santa Cruz Collects.

I spent Saturday in beautiful Monterey, ocean pounding outside the window of a conference room, where about 40 museum folks were pondering a question more elusive than the origin of the waves: can museums change the world? In two months, 10,000 visitors sent postcards (and fortuitiously, the government acted in favor of protection).

What is your auction’s target group? Rather than focusing on single pricey gifts, try bundling smaller donations into one basket. To help facilitate a pleasant outdoor meal experience, auction off a picnic gift basket with dishware, cutlery, wine glasses, and a cheeseboard. What are the demographics of your auction guests?
