The Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum board members recently gathered for a board retreat, led by Michael Duchemin, Ph.D. Mr. Duchemin is currently a museum consultant with a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy in U.S. History, American West, and Public History. He previously held positions as president, CEO, executive director, curator and museum manager at multiple museums, most recently as President and CEO of the Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio.
The purpose of the board retreat was to provide information and generate discussion relating to the structure and management of a historical museum, marketing and public relations, as well the care and collection of historical collections, all in preparation for a future strategic planning session.
The Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum was established in 2000 with a mission to preserve the ranching and Western heritage of South Central Texas through interpretive exhibits, research, and educational programs. The CTHM board was honored to have Mr. Duchemin lead them in discussion to develop ideas for strengthening its mission and serving its members and the community at large, while building a solid foundation for future museum growth.
