A leap year occurs only once every 4 years. Well, not exactly. And the Smithsonian tells us why in the name of science. “The rule is that if the year is divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400, leap year is skipped. The year 2000 was a leap year, for example, but the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not.” In summary, the last time we had a leap year was 2020 so the rule has been in effect for this year. So….what’s the significance of this leap year concept in finance? 🤔 None really. I just wanted to write this in celebration of this exceptional day 😊 And the fact that I am embarking on a new career chapter that truly comes along once in a while (definitely more than 4 years have passed). Looking forward to making the “leap” forward this year and serving in a true finance transformation advisory capacity this coming March. What opportunities have come your way as a result of this leap year?    #leapyear #financetransformation #advisoryservices Article Credit Reference: The Science of Leap Year | National Air and Space Museum (si.edu)           

Our $1 million investment in the museum community sparked a lot of change in 2023, including updates to help you better navigate and find resources that matter most to you and form deeper connections in the museum field! Here's some of what's changed in 2023: 📚 The new AAM Resource Library: We launched a redesigned library of thousands of resources, with new functions to help you find the guides, articles, and tools you need and the inspiration you want. We published 184 new resources, blog posts, and articles this year, powered by the thought leadership of museum professionals like you. 🌐 Museum Junction Upgrade: The vibrant online hub of more than 60,000 museum professionals got a major facelift, with a more interactive experience, easy-to-navigate feed, and over a dozen new peer communities to find the discussions that matter most to you. 🚀 Future of Museums Summit: We hosted this inaugural, virtual summit in November focusing on professional development and key issues for museums to face the future, like rapid digital evolutions and repatriation practices.

Museums and Elderly people. Recently, I received a message from a former participant of a summer school from many years ago. She still remembers the topic I discussed there: Museums and the Elderly. It was when ... 2008?2012? This was the span of that summer school. I am very grateful that my words still resonate but nowadays, things have worsened, if possible. The most part of our Western cities are shrinking and colouring of more silver tones. Museums must confront the ageing of their societies and the changes in demographic trends. Demoscopic analysis, once outdated, now returns strongly relevant, with some modifications made necessary by cultural and rights transformations and awareness. This will be one of the topics I will bring in the discussion with Mattia Agnetti at the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia: Scenarios and Future visions for the Leaders of the cultural sector. #museums #leadership #museumrelevance #ageing #societalanalysis

“What is true north? True north is the direction that points directly towards the geographic North Pole. This is a fixed point on the Earth’s globe. What is magnetic north - and why is it different to true north? True north is a fixed point on the globe. Magnetic north is quite different. Magnetic north is the direction that a compass needle points to as it aligns with the Earth’s magnetic field. What is interesting is that the magnetic North Pole shifts and changes over time in response to changes in the Earth’s magnetic core. It is not a fixed point.” ~Royal Museums Greenwich (https://lnkd.in/eb-yF3mj) Springhouse’s True North program is an opportunity to explore what it means for adults to love and serve from a place of wholeness and Life, not by shifting, unsteady societal “norms.” Consider joining me, Carolyn, on a journey of deep discovery, empowerment, and grace.
