Make an Impact on the Museum Field with Us
We are pleased to be participants in the Museum Social Impact in Practice, a three-year initiative led by the American Alliance of Museums and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services that provides technical assistance to museum professionals seeking to measure their museums’ social impact.
We are asking individuals to help us evaluate our impact by attending three museum experiences (on us) and completing a survey.
If you love museums and are looking for a way to help the field, this is the opportunity for you!
