Sorry I too won't be able to join you for the board meeting. We just
wrapped up organizing the very successful opening events for the new
National Museum of the American Indian, and after this year--with
producing the WWII Reunion on the Mall and the Folklife Festival, I'm
pretty exhausted. But there is no rest--I have just been appointed
acting director for Smithsonian National Programs (with oversight of
SITES, Smithsonian Associates, Affiliations, Education and Museum
Studies) in addition to my day job. I will begin that job as I fly to
Korea to give the keynote address on museums and living cultural
heritage to the meeting of the International Council of Museums.
