Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Complete a budgetary and physical plan by May 2012. 2. Consolidate three websites and meet Web accessibility standards by June 2012. Evaluate whether a plan for the exhibition space, including a projected budget, material specifications, space drawings, and cost estimates from contractors, is finished on schedule. 2. Evaluate whether the Web site gallery is completed on schedule.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. A budget and physical plan was completed by the due date. Production started on exhibition on the history, ecology, and techniques of woodturning. Along with monthly demonstrations, new exhibits introduce wood as an art and a craft and as a fulfilling lifelong art form to learn. Programs engage participations of diverse ages, ethnicities and abilities. Working with Vision Loss Resources, we are developing a curriculum for blind/low vision woodworkers. Four evening events with the Schubert Club Museum, and art exhibits and demos at the National Park Service information center outside of Stillwater, are scheduled for 2012/13. 2. The organization contracted with a technology consultant to develop a request for Web development proposals, which is being reviewed by the board, staff, and other stakeholders.
