Inspired by the sessions you saw or heard about at the American Association of Museums (AAM) Annual Meeting this year? Looking to discuss issues not addressed? Interested in sharing your work in audience research and evaluation with colleagues from across the country? Then submit a program proposal to the Committee on Audience Research and Evaluation (CARE) and help build “Bridges to the World” at the 2003 AAM Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. Next year’s theme offers an array of opportunities to discuss audience research and evaluation issues, and the new proposal form even includes evaluation under the strategic area of “Interpretation.” WE NEED YOU to share your insights and expertise by proposing sessions for this meeting. The deadline for submitting program proposals for CARE sponsorship is July 1. Programs sponsored by a Standing Professional Committee (SPC) such as CARE have the best chance of being accepted by the AAM National Program Committee. Plus CARE can assist you by identifying the latest trends and issues, helping you locate potential speakers, offering a peer review to develop and enhance your proposal, and working with other SPCs to co- sponsor sessions and improve your chances for being included in the final program. You can submit a proposal for sessions in a range of formats from 75-minute sessions featuring a variety of speakers (including “nuts-and- bolts” Sunrise Sessions) to 30-minute, one-person poster presentations. To get a copy of the program proposal form, go to www.aam- us.org/proposal2003/index.htm. There you will also find information about AAM on-line resources for finding session speakers. Once your form is complete, please submit it to Amber Combs, CARE Program Chair, at the address below.
