Our mission is to discover, protect, and revitalize the architectural
and related cultural heritage of the Rochester region, and to educate
and inform our community about that heritage.
 
We are due to start our re-accreditation process with AAM.

My administration is asking me about the value of accreditation when it
comes to receiving financial support.

It seems to me that without accreditation, we would not be successful at
federally funded grants.  Do you think that's a valid assumption? What
about other sources?

We have other issues to face with accreditation - we are an organization
with a diverse mission, not strictly a museum - and I am not talking
about whether or not to maintain professionally appropriate standards
(we do, and will continue to do so.)  but right now I'd like to keep my
question to the list simple.

What is your experience with the monetary value of accreditation? 

Thanks -

Cindy Boyer
