F: Meet Me at MoMA will hopefully always be on offer here at MoMA. We will continue to offer a monthly program, for people who have been diagnosed with dementia and their care partners. There is also the welcoming of groups that come from assisted living facilities and outside care organizations. We have our educators who lead these programs who continue to train. Most of them are veterans that have been here for a long time and they feel very comfortable working with these audiences but if we get new people on board, part of their training is thinking and learning about how they will work with this particular population. That’s ongoing. What we were able to do through the MoMA Alzheimers’ project funded by the Metlife Foundation was broader outreach across the country and internationally. I feel like what we were able to do had such a great impact that continues to grow. Now, to have 125 museums that are working to offer their own programs in their own way to their own local audiences is the greatest gift that we could give. Going forward we will continue to have the Meet Me website as an ongoing resource that people can refer to. We still get calls from all over the world, from our colleagues at different institutions that might be at different stages of the process but want a little bit of our input. And we are more than happy to share it. We are also always learning and value hearing from colleagues about strategies that have worked and that haven’t worked. We are always eager to do what we can to keep things fresh.
