Nonprofit Organization Management - , ,
INTERCOM is the International Committee for Museum Management that is part of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), focusing on ideas, issues and practices relating to management and leadership within the context of museums. The principle actions in management are to lead and represent a public body/institution, and to plan, resource, implement, evaluate and adjust, based on an identified vision.MISSIONINTERCOM's interests include, but are not limited to: governance; not-for-profit management practice in a theoretical framework; international law as it relates to museums; human and financial resource management; reputation management and the financing of museums.MAIN GOALSINTERCOM provides four main vehicles for the exploration and exchange of ideas and practice: a yearly meeting for its members; regular information updates via email and a web site. The fourth vehicle, while more informal, is the development of a network of professionals who are actively involved in the management of museums and related institutions in order to exchange and compare information informally.KEY VALUESINTERCOM believes that it is a fundamental responsibility of museums, wherever possible, to be active in promoting diversity and human rights, respect and equality for people of all origins, beliefs and background.
