Update on AAM Professional Networks:

AAM Professional Networks, established in the 1970s, were volunteer-led groups of peers from across the museum field organized around job functions, common areas of interest, or identity. In February 2023, AAM announced the forthcoming development of an expanded volunteer, professional development, and networking program for the Museum Community that replaces the PN structure. The new program will continue to serve all of the members engaged in the former Professional Networks and more, through a modern structure that prioritizes equity and inclusion, enhances peer-to-peer connections, expands access to year-round professional development, and provides more opportunities for volunteering and national leadership.
