The benefits of being part of a vibrant, statewide professional association include:
- A Seat at the Table. MANY’s advocacy with elected officials, agency leaders, and funders on arts, cultural, tourism, and economic development issues ensures your institution’s voice is heard. Organizational members receive frequent advocacy alerts, materials to use in their own advocacy efforts, and a free copy of the Legislative Guide, a comprehensive directory of state and Congressional legislators.
- Issues Analysis. MANY regularly canvasses its members on emerging trends and critical issues. We share what you have to say with government officials and the field through white papers, articles and presentations.
- e-Newsletter. MANY e-Connections bring you timely information on all aspects of museum operations, as well as new job postings and the latest personnel changes in museums. We troll a wide array of sources for great ideas to pass along to you.
- All-Museum Annual Conference. The largest gathering of museum professional in the state offers your institution opportunities to sponsor and present sessions and is yours at discounted rates.
- Salary and Benefits Survey. This biennial analysis of salaries and benefits — organized by budget size, discipline, and region of the state — is an invaluable human-resource management tool and yours for free.
- Annual membership e-directory (emailed in May). A terrific networking tool and only available to MANY members.
