The Association of Midwest Museums (AMM) is accepting session proposals for the 2005 AMM Conference, Museums and Success. The conference is scheduled for October 26-28 at the Historic Hilton Netherland Hotel in Cincinnati, OH. In today's complex and dynamic professional world, there is a greater demand and expectation for museums to become more accountable in programs and services. A museum's constituency (including funders, members, board members, and sectors of the museum community) all request increasingly more explanation and evidence that museums are indeed reaching and sustaining certain goals that are gauges of "success." The 2005 AMM Conference, Museums and Success, will explore the many facets of museum operations, and how museums are incorporating new initiatives and building upon success as well as measuring outcomes. Sessions and workshops will explore multiple ways in which museums define and measure success. The deadline for submission is January 15, 2005.
