- highlights the results from the task force,
- lays the groundwork that allows our field to establish a common set of Core Concepts and Key Indicators of excellence in DEAI
- offers strategies for assessing and measuring excellence in DEAI in museums,
- and provides recommendations for how AAM can better embed DEAI within the Framework for Museum Excellence.

Facing Change: Insights from AAM’s DEAI Working Group
In spring 2017, following its strategic plan, the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) convened the Working Group on Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI). Twenty museum professionals, representing a variety of disciplines, organizational sizes and types, and perspectives, came together monthly at the Alliance’s offices in Arlington, Virginia, and once at the 2017 AAM Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri. For six months, this group examined the characteristics of effective museum inclusion practices and considered what steps the field could take to promote DEAI.
