Member Communities

 MMA Member communities are groups of MMA members that meet virtually on a regular basis around a professional development goal. All groups use Basecamp to connect and communicate and have monthly check-ins via Zoom.

Emergency Preparedness/Collections Care

3rd Monday at 1:00 pm

The purpose of the emergency preparedness/collections care membership community is to support each other in our work with collections care and emergency preparedness, sharing both challenges and successes. We work to facilitate a culture of emergency response and recovery for Michigan museum collections with a vision for a network of trained responders in the state with access to supplies and support needed to assist in a large-scale disaster.

Advocacy

2nd Tuesday at 1:00 pm

We come together to share resources, strategies, and inspiration for effective advocacy. We work to raise awareness of museums as essential cultural, educational, and economic assets, amplify our collective voice, and influence policies that strengthen and sustain our institutions. We share advocacy tools and ideas with the wider Michigan museum community and promote active participation in Museums Advocacy Day, CAN Advocacy Day, and everyday advocacy efforts.

Productivity and Time Management

1st Wednesday at 2:30 pm

We come together to learn from and support each other by creating an affirming space for both sharing resources and having conversations around productivity and time management. We appreciate the diversity of perspectives that other members bring to the group, and apply what we learn from them to our own individual situations both at work and in our non-work lives.  We don't pretend to have all of the answers, but focus on improving our skills together in a fun way.


The Michigan Museums Association is supported in part by an award from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
