Measurable Outcome(s)

I believe the measures were exceeded as Rose provided an even broader source of information to the museum on topics related to Collection Storage including longer term collections accessioning and disassociating policies and advice (including public relations aspects not considered before), hints for our curator, and other broad ideas to help improve the museum's professionalism.
