The inaugural CEO Chat focuses on pressures to censor museum content and actions.

Richard “Rick” West, founding director of the Smithson National Museum of the American Indian, former president and CEO of the Autry Museum of the American West, and Chair of the AAM Board from 19998-2000.
Participants will have the opportunity to connect and discuss the challenges facing their museum.
