AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS
ACT NOW Museum Advocacy Update

Registration for Museums Advocacy Day 2009 Is Now Open!
AAM is pleased to invite you to join other museum advocates and professionals from around the country to participate in Museums Advocacy Day on February 23-24, 2009 in Washington, DC. Participants will learn about the American Association of Museum’s legislative agenda and how to effectively communicate the value of museums to their representatives in Congress.  Following a day of advocacy training and issue briefings, advocates will make scheduled visits to Capitol Hill.

“There could not be a more critical time for museum advocates to make their case to Congress,” said AAM President Ford Bell. “With a new president and a full slate of issues facing public policy makers, there is a lot at stake in 2009. We need to make our voices heard.”
