Ms. Camarote developed a strategic plan to help the Smithsonian better engage and utilize more than 30 advisory boards aligned to the unique units of the Institution. The role included extension senior interviews, best practice research, strategy development, and budget reviews that culminated in a recommendations and implementation report. The Smithsonian is currently implementing these recommendations with an aim of reaching out to this vast network of supporters to help meet their mission and fundraising goals for the next several years.
