Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Outreach to BIPOC communities leads to Tweed's decolonization. Discuss Tweed's decolonization with BIPOC communities and establish a plan, timetable, and benchmarks, involving key community leaders, museum staff, board members, and UMD constituents. 2: Empower underrepresented populations to create diverse programs. Work with the established diverse communities committee to research, plan, develop, and evaluate topics, media, and format of programs (audio, virtual, visual, etc.) for the Tweed and Maker Communities Space.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Initial progress made. TMA will advance efforts by continued engagement with community partners re: improved accessibility and programs. Methods to measure progress and success consist in creating benchmarks in tandem with our constituencies. The planning process was shaped by a series of meetings with key figures of our BIPOC communities. 2: Initial progress made toward realizing this goal. Addressing long-term, systemic, and structural issues is ongoing. A Maker (Communities) Space was created hosting workshops, and engagement projects. These person-to-person opportunities allow for actionable feedback.
