VAM Wants to Hear from You

We urge you and your staff to take a moment and use this space to share in our online conversation about how you are surviving and coping in today's economic climate. This conversation will help all of us communicate more effectively with funders, lawmakers and the media. The museum field is full of smart, creative people, so sharing our thoughts on survival can help us all - plus, by sharing your challenges, you may find others who share your challenge and can help, and VAM can learn more about the needs of the museum community we serve so that we may better meet your needs through our programming. The AAM is offering a two-day,four part webinar, Straight Talk: Museums Rising to the Financial Challenge , March 18-19. Each 90-minute session will focus on a crucial issue confronting us all: retrenchment, fundraising, managing human resources and communications strategies.
