Consultation has concluded
This joint project between the Kent Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department and the Greater Kent Historical Society (GKHS), looks to create a six-year (2022-2028) Strategic Plan for the Greater Kent Historical Society using existing data, any required new data, best practices and creativity in collaboration and alignment with the public recreation and museum industry and community stakeholders. As stewards of public investment in our shared history, we jointly seek to create a refreshed vision and purpose in growing capacity for creativity, new programs, experiences and exhibits, that will reinforce the GKHS’s position as the City’s primary preserver and educator of City history.
Continued success of a new strategic plan will be measured by the following:
Increase in attendance by cultural and ethnic diverse populations and increase in membership from ethnic and culture-based organizations.
An increase in attendance to the Kent Museum and its public programs by attracting and appealing to traditional and non-traditional museum audiences of all ages and interests.
An increase in membership sales.
Clarify the Greater Kent Historical Society Board roles, responsibilities, and functions.
Effectiveness in meeting the Kent Museum’s learning and interpretive objectives.
Elevated support from stakeholders, donors, volunteers, and visitors.
Elevation of both the GKHS and Kent Museum to be publicly recognized stewards of Kent’s diverse history.
Successful achievement and management of pre-established operating budgets.
A renewed mutual commitment and strengthening of partnership between the GKHS and the City of Kent, resulting in updating of a new lease and services agreement.
