IMA Plugged-In: Connecting the Field
ICPC encourages members to take part in IMA Plugged-In, a free virtual series hosted by the Iowa Museum Association that brings museum professionals and volunteers together for timely conversations across the field. These monthly sessions offer an accessible space to connect, ask questions, and explore real-world challenges facing cultural heritage institutions.
ICPC will be featured in an upcoming session, “Connecting, Progressing, and Supporting Preservation in Iowa,” highlighting how the organization supports collections care through training, resources, and collaboration. The presentation will explore ICPC’s mission and goals, with a focus on connecting early-career professionals with experienced practitioners, advancing preservation knowledge and practice, and supporting the statewide IMALERT emergency response system. The session will also highlight ICPC’s collaborative work with partners, including the Iowa Museum Association.
Presenters include Amanda Latta, MLIS, CARST, Administrative Assistant for ICPC, and Julia Wells, Assistant Grand Librarian and Curator at the Grand Lodge of Iowa Masonic Library and Museum.
These informal, one-hour conversations provide an easy way to stay engaged, learn from peers, and remain connected to the broader preservation community.
