ASTC Working with Harwood to Accelerate Change

"A powerful force for good," is how
Lesley Lewis, President of the Association of
Science-Technology Centers describes her vision
for her members which include more than 540
science centers and museums in 40 countries
across the globe.
Last week
ASTC's Board invited Rich Harwood to work with
them to explore ways to turn outward toward
their communities and deepen the relevance of
their Centers. As part of the Board Meeting,
Rich led the members through The 3A's of Public Life. The
3A's are a way for leaders to make tough
judgments about their work in public life while
remaining true to their
aspirations.
Science centers have
an incredible opportunity to be a powerful
force for good. As more and more public issues
are rooted in both public values and science -
from global warming and nuclear power, to water
scarcity and sex education - these centers are
trusted conveners with the standing to bring
people together to discuss difficult
issues.
