"No museum is alone in its efforts to educate and inspire its community
and visitors," said <b>AAM President Ford Bell</b>. "This AAM
advocacy training session will help museums of all types and sizes better
understand how they can connect with each other and other community partners to
make the case for their museum. I hope every museum and its staff will
participate in this free online program." <br>

We hope to "see" you Tuesday! <br>
