The Association of Midwest Museums (AMM) and the Michigan Museums Association (MMA) are accepting session proposals for the 2004 Joint AMM/MMA Conference, Reflections of Community. The conference is scheduled for October 20-22, 2004 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Deadline for submission is January 30, 2004. For a proposal form, visit the AMM website at http://www.midwestmuseums.org/.
Sessions formats may include panel discussions, discussion groups, roundtables, workshops, or other presentations that provide new insights and cutting edge information for museum professionals. The theme, Reflections of Community, pertains to the dynamic relationship and synergy between museums and cultural institutions and the many unique communities each represents. Sessions and workshops will explore the overt and subtle ways in which museums and communities both reflect and help define each other. Sessions may address issues by specialty, including archives, audience evaluations, collections management, conservation, curating, development, education, exhibitions, finance/administration, human resources, marketing/public relations, security, and technology.
Museum and non-museum professionals are encouraged to participate in the conference. The AMM/MMA conference will address many issues across a broad spectrum of museum disciplines and types of institutions.
