I interpreted this as private conservators having a lack of access to new and emerging technologies.

I realize that this section is likely speaking to access of  information relating to conservation or impacting the conservation decision making process. However I just want to say how much this resonates with me because the conservators and technicians in my lab are struggling to keep up with the voracious desire to digitize rare and unique cultural materials at my institution.

I was also thinking that 20/21 could be combined.

This statement has no context, making it confusing. Possible change:

Collection care professionals can provide positive preservation outcomes for cultural materials if they have access to quality education and training.

Goal should not be bifurcated (x activity to support y)– should be one statement, eg Advance professionalism of conservation field

Strategies:

1. Continue existing and expand new educational opportunities

— collaborate with FAIC to study areas where courses needed

— Broaden accessibility etc

2. Build partnerships

etc

Again, I feel like we should be communicating a larger goal, with advocate for the field being a strategy.  So for instance, why “advocate for the field”? Seems like the explanatory text can be used to articulate a more inspiring goal:

Goal: Strengthen long-term sustainability of the field

Strategies:

1. Advocate for the field

— Become main (or one of )point of contact for all national and international emergency response efforts for cultural heritage…

— tighten and communicate externally member designations

— participate in policy development…

2. Support existing and expand new bridges to allied orgs

–details

2.

I’m assuming that the strategic management of our organization also includes the management of our financial resources. Do we need to be explicit about that?

Are these core values in this particular order for a reason?

In response to Sarah’s second comment, I would prefer to keep education and lifelong learning as separate from professionalism (in this document). (I would prefer to see the section on professionalism combined with a re-worked advocacy section.)

I don’t know if we are supposed to be line editing or not, but I like Sarah’s suggested word changes.
