Registration Now Open: Join us in Washington, D.C. for Museums Advocacy Day 2023, February 27-28
| Registration is now open for Museums Advocacy Day! We look forward to gathering in person with museum advocates in Washington, D.C. for Museums Advocacy Day 2023 on February 27-28. This will be a critical year to advocate for much-needed funding increases for the Office of Museum Services, continue to urge legislators to support policies that benefit museums, and build important relationships with members of the new 118th Congress. Legislators do not know how their decisions affect museums, and the people who work for and with them, unless they hear directly from you–the museums and people they represent.
Dive in to learn more about: Register to join us, and book your room in our hotel block at the Washington Plaza Hotel for the best rate. Members save on registration rates for Museums Advocacy Day and the AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo, toolkits, publications, and more. Join or renew today. |

Appropriations UpdateIn late September, Congress passed a continuing resolution (CR) to keep federal agencies, including IMLS and other federal agencies that support museums, funded at FY 2022 levels through December 16. This stop-gap measure will be extended to December 23 to give Congress additional time to wrap up a $1.7 trillion omnibus funding package before departing Washington for the holiday break. The massive FY 2023 funding bill is expected to be released in the coming days. AAM will report on developments. In the meantime, thank you very much for your steadfast advocacy efforts throughout this year. We look forward to advocating together in the new year, including seeing you in-person at Museums Advocacy Day 2023!
