> The Directors Forum has become a conduit for the information and
> inspiration that has redefined the role of art museums today.  Each
> year, art museum leaders gather in New York to discuss the successes
> and failures that advance their mission within communities nationwide.
> The conference is an opportunity to rediscover the power of art to
> captivate, challenge, and educate. This year's program, A UNIQUE
> PERSPECTIVE: Exploring the Big Impact of Small Museums is designed to
> foster a dialogue among museum professionals from institutions of all
> sizes through panel sessions, discussion groups, and workshops.
>
> The Directors Forum is a wonderful way to connect with the decision
> makers in museums who are ready to compete in a market environment.
> This November participants will experience the vast diversity of art
> institutions in New York during programs and receptions at The Drawing
> Center, The Fisher Landau Foundation, The Forbes Magazine Galleries,
> The New Museum of Contemporary Art, The National Arts Club, The
> Pierpont Morgan Library, and PS1: Center for Contemporary Art.
>
> To participate in the Directors Forum, individuals must be full-time,
> paid professional directors of nonprofit art museums or galleries open
> to the public on a regular schedule. Members of the American
> Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) and directors of
