The Emerging Conservation Professionals Network\u00a0(ECPN) is pleased to announce our upcoming webinar, “Showcasing Your Work: Preparing and Maintaining a Conservation Portfolio<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0taking place on\u00a0Tuesday, November 14th<\/sup> from 12:30-1:30 pm EST. <\/strong><\/p>\n

A well-conceived and eye-catching portfolio can be crucial for emerging conservation professionals to progress in the field. But when is a\u00a0digital\u00a0portfolio appropriate\u00a0versus a hard-copy portfolio? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How should your portfolio evolve as you progress in your career?\u00a0This\u00a0Webinar will cover the\u00a0creation and\u00a0use of digital and hard-copy portfolios in\u00a0various scenarios and early-career stages, from pre-program candidate to graduate student and post-graduate.<\/p>\n

ECPN has invited two speakers to provide different perspectives on this topic. Susan Heald, Textile Conservator at the National Museum of the American Indian, will discuss her experience reviewing portfolios as part of internship and fellowship applications. Gwen Manthey, a paintings conservator who has worked in both private practice and museums, will\u00a0speak about digital portfolios, including the\u00a0practicalities of compiling and maintaining one.<\/p>\n

ECPN is seeking submissions for the Q&A session following the speakers\u2019 presentations.\u00a0To submit your questions in advance, please post in the comments section below\u00a0or send them via email to ecpn.webinar@conservation-us.org<\/a>.
