ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Hello, all. We've just started thinking about the pros and cons of
establishing one or both a Parent and/or Children's Advisory Committee,
to advise us on their perceptions, as end consumers, on everything we do
that they would be in a position to perceive, from marketing,
educational program choices, prices, exhibits, and more. Focus groups,
essentially.
Who has tried running these? What staff attended those meetings? Were
the committees productive? Did the attendees appreciate the chance to
contribute, and was the feedback helpful? What was an appropriate
frequency? Were there incentives to these attendees beyond a sense of
contributing to their friendly neighborhood science center? And...did
the committees last a long time, or do they only go for a while? In
other words, what were the best practices, and did these committees
prove useful?
Thank you for all comments!
