CALL FOR PROPOSALS 
Building Museums™ Symposium 2008 
February 28-March 1, 2008 
Washington, D.C. 

The Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums (MAAM) is pleased to announce 
fourth annual Building Museums™ Symposium in Washington, D.C., February 28-
March 1, 2008. The event will be hosted at some of Washington's most 
prestigious museums including the Smithsonian's Donald W. Reynolds Center 
for American Art and Portraiture, and George Washington's Mount Vernon 
Estate.

MAAM is seeking proposals for sessions that will engage museum professionals, 
architects, planners, and other technical experts in a dynamic exchange of 
ideas about key issues for museum building projects. Symposium participants 
will enjoy opportunities to meet and learn from the professionals impacting 
museum construction projects today. Program content will reflect museums of 
various sizes, disciplines, budgets, collections-orientation, and scope of 
building projects.

Building Museums Symposium 2008 is organized under three interrelated 
themes:
* Day 1: Vision (planning your building project),
* Day 2: Implementation (making your vision a reality), and
* Day 3: Sustainability ("life after opening the doors")

Students and professionals from various areas of expertise related to museum 
building projects are invited to participate. If you are interested in submitting 
a proposal, please complete the form available at: 
http://www.midatlanticmuseums.org/buildingmuseums.html no later than
