Make Your Voice Heard

Nothing has a more powerful impact on members of Congress than hearing directly from their constituents.  Members of Congress want to hear from the new museum professionals they represent and AAM’s advocacy program helps you connect with your legislators. We’ll let you know about breaking news and key moments in the policy process so you can weigh-in with elected officials. AAM is working to increase all museum professionals' involvement in advocacy and has created a new online system to help the field better communicate with Congress.  For more information about how you and your institution can speak up for museums, visit the AAM Museum Advocacy Action Center or contact the Museum Advocacy Team at mat@aam-us.org.

Stand out in a Standing Professional Committee

Don’t forget that there are others in the world interested in the same discipline.  Join a Standing Professional Committee or Professional Interest Committee and meet other colleagues in the same field with similar interests.  Become involved, stay informed, and become a leader.
