Project Overview

In order to grow the capacity of the organization to preserve and interpret history a consultant was hired by the DCHV to lead selected members and the board through the Standards and Excellence Program for History Organizations' (StEPs) self-assessment program.

The process involved the completion of six segments of the StEPs workbook. The results of the process included a reviewal of policies and procedures, the identification of areas for improvement and the development of a next steps plan. The organization now has an improved mission statement and direct, specific goals.
