ICOM-US
The U.S. National Committee of the International Council of Museums |
Effective December 2011, ICOM-US has returned to its status as an independent organization separate from the American Association of Museums.
This decision, mutually agreed upon by AAM and ICOM, is the result of several years of discussion and, mostly recently, a very productive day where AAM and ICOM staff and ICOM-US leadership developed concrete steps to move to an independent status. AAM and ICOM are firmly committed to continued collaboration. AAM and ICOM agree that an independent status is the best way for ICOM-US to achieve its strategic goals of increased visibility, improved service to members and growth in membership.
The new ICOM-US Website is http://network.icom.museum/icom-us.html. Please visit ICOM-US at their new site for 2012 membership information.
