I believe you have misunderstood my latest post on contacting the
    AAM.  What I wish to investigate *is* the
    accredidation process of museums--not museum studies programs.  I
    wish to learn more about museums and staff.  In my opinion, it is
    the staff that constitutes a museum's greatest asset.  I am
    curious to learn about ways that the AAM might take a
    more agressive approach to ensuring that a museum's
    professionalism also includes adequate wages, etc. for staff in
    addition to such important issues as collections care.  It may
    lead nowhere but I can no longer sit still.
