Why MAAM?

Why join MAAM? Here are some good reasons.

Home / Membership / Why MAAM?

    1. We believe in the work you do.

    If the ultimate purpose of museums is to improve lives, then MAAM’s job is to improve yours. We bring together the resources of the Mid-Atlantic region’s museum community and make them available to our Members through conferences, symposia, and online opportunities.

    2. We are cost-effective.

    We have held our membership rates down, and the costs of attending our conferences and programs are substantially below alternative programs. This means your staff development costs can be kept within your budget even as you achieve your institutional goals.

    3. We serve you in your neighborhood.

    Our region has one of the highest concentrations of museums, museum studies programs, and museum services organizations in the world, and probably the most diverse museum population, as well. We provide opportunities for targeted peer-to-peer support, training on best practices, leadership development, networking, and access to fully-vetted products and services.

    4. We are not too big to fail.

    We are the right size to work with you to meet your needs and support your aspirations. We know the quality and relevance of our programs will keep you with us. We bring today’s thought leaders and tomorrow’s administrators and entrepreneurs to you.

Join the hundreds of other museum professionals and service providers that are the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums, and attend the Annual Meeting at a greatly reduced rate. Or attend one of our Building Museums conferences, Creating Exhibitions programs, or Cornerstone Learning events in your neighborhood in the coming year.

We are lean and responsive. Let’s work together to flourish in these most interesting times.
