This past week has been a busy one for volunteer lectures and continuing education! The volunteer website has been updated with two new lectures hosted virtually earlier this month, as well as the 2023 Volunteer Business Meeting. These new additions join our growing archive of online content. The lectures, part of the 2022-2023 mansion docent training, and attendant readings from the training program double as continuing education and enrichment for all volunteers and staff. The Volunteer Business Meeting provides volunteers with the opportunity to learn about Hillwood’s strategic plan, important updates, and major projects for the year ahead.
Read on for more details regarding the lecture recordings and upcoming virtual lectures and volunteer events.
