The Continuum of Excellence: Where Should Your Museum Begin?

VAM's upcoming member newsmagazine, the VAM Voice, will feature AAM's Continuum of ExcellenceThe new Continuum offers opportunities for various levels of assessment, feedback and recognition that build on one another. Programs along the Continuum include (but are not limited to) the following:

Pledge of Excellence
The Standards and Excellence Program (StEPs)
Museum Assessment Program (MAP)
Conservation Assessment Program (CAP)
Core Documents Verification
Accreditation (Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and Alliance)

It's easy, however, for museums - particularly those with small or all-volunteer staff, to know where to begin in this process. Thankfully, AAM has created a handy quiz, entitled The Continuum of Excellence: A Getting Started Guide, to help you navigate these opportunities and find the right one for your museum. Check out the quiz, and begin today on  your path to excellence!
