ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

From years of watching museum start ups succeed and fail I would put credentials low on the list of what is needed.
Then again it may also have more weight if you are in a town or region where academics are in high regard.
Good luck.

Will my lack of advanced degree hinder my attempts to start the first science museum in the history of my city? I am starting this effort from the ground and wonder about my efficacy as a visionary in such an ambitious project.
