Member Communities
|
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.
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.
We come together to discuss issues related to the unique challenges in operating a historic house museum. We represent a variety of types and sizes of organizations from throughout the state and focus on our common experiences to help each other. We share resources, ideas, and insight, and listen to each other to provide perspective.
