ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Hello Last year at ASTC, I heard some folks talk about the use of Partnership Statements when working with outside groups. As I understood it, they were not MOUs or contracts, but statements that made the missions of the partners clear and clarified why you should be working together. This statement would be revisited annually for whether the partnership was still the same and also left a paper trail for working together when staff turned over. I would like to use this type of process with my partners. Does anyone use these? If so, can you send me an example I could use to develop my own statements. Thanks for your feedback.
