In 2020-2021, BB&N launched a new learning program for members of The Almy Society, BB&N's planned giving society. The series began in December with BB&N Archivist Esme Rabin offering a behind-the-scenes look at the Archives. Esme described an archivist’s daily work, highlighted special items from the historical collections, and discussed current and upcoming projects.
Next, The Almy Society offered a presentation and interactive discussion with Dr. Jed Lippard, BB&N's new Chief Learning Officer. Dr. Lippard discussed the current and future state of teaching and learning at BB&N, COVID's impact on the 2020-2021 school year, and The BB&N Strategic Plan: A Blueprint for Principled Engagement with Our Community, Our City, and Our World. The final program featured Dr. Tara S. Gohlmann, BB&N's Chief Operating and Financial Officer, who presented on BB&N’s reopening (Safe. Smart. Resilient.), major facilities initiatives, and finances.
