Just a reminder for everyone contemplating applying for Accreditation this
spring, all applications must be postmarked by June 15th. The next deadline
is December 15.


America's accredited museums have earned the honor by completing the
rigorous but highly rewarding review process that examines all aspects of a
museum's operations. They have found that accreditation means:

        Increased public and professional recognition and reputation.
                Acknowledgment for their commitment to excellence and
improvement.
        Increased credibility with funding agencies and donors.
        A clearer understanding of the museum's strength, goals, priorities
and mission for staff and board.


We would like your museum to consider if it is ready to join this
distinguished group (the Accreditation Program website has a section to with
tips to help you determine readiness:
http://www.aam-us.org/programs/accreditation/webready.cfm
<http://www.aam-us.org/programs/accreditation/webready.cfm> ).

You may find an application as well as information about the eligibility
criteria and process at www.aam-us.org/accred <www.aam-us.org/accred%20>  or
by contacting the Accreditation Program staff at 202-289-9116 or
accreditation @aam-us.org. The Accreditation Program staff is always
available to answer your questions and help you determine if your museum is
ready. They are also able to help you find other resources to help your
museum prepare.

Please consider applying. If your museum is ready, it deserves the honor.
