General Chair 

Dear Colleagues, 

Welcome to our nation's capital and to our annual 

AAM meeting. In an election year, this is the perfect 

place and time to gather. given our theme of "Power. 

Influence and Responsibility." We operate in an era of 

increasingly rapid change and rising challenges- an era 

when our visitors and our communities are looking to 

us for more insight and inspiration than ever before. 

I'm confident we can deliver if we focus on our values. 

What do we value as individuals? What do we value 

as communities? And what do we value as nations? 

I'm reminded of the quote by scientist E.O. Wilson: 

"We are drowning in information, while starving for 

wisdom." This provides an important backdrop for 

our conversations over the next few days. We will use 

the potential power and influence of our museums 

responsibly if our actions are grounded in our values. 

We must think creatively. think as a community and 

inspire others to think creatively too. 

The museum community, individually and collectively 

through organizations like AAM, has so much to offer. 

I am proud that the Smithsonian has joined AAM 

as their partner in this year's annual meeting and I 

look forward to learning more about the invaluable 

contributions your museums are making to your 

communities, the nation and the world.

Host Committee Chair 

Dear Colleagues, 

On behalf of the local host committee, I'm pleased 

to welcome you to Washington, DC, for the 2016 AAM 

Annual Meeting & Museum Expo. Our committee of 

museum leaders- from every type and size of museum 

imaginable- has collaborated to create unique 

experiences for all interests and appetites. 

We offer you the opportunity to make new friends and 

reconnect with old ones at spectacular events hosted 

all across the city. To help you learn and share with 

each other, we have prepared more than 180 interactive 

sessions, crowd sourced from the museum field and 

then chosen by our National Program Committee of 30 

experts from across museum disciplines. In addition, 

we have planned 25 Onsite Insights programs that let 

you gain knowledge firsthand by visiting your fellow 

museums. Head to the Museum Expo floor to connect 

with new ideas, top-notch partners and innovative 

products designed to help you deliver on your 

institution's mission. 

We look forward to exploring with you how our theme 

of "Power, Influence and Responsibility" shapes the 

work of museums in the US and around the globe. 

Washington, DC, is one of the most powerful cities 

in the world and the proud home of more than 200 

museums and embassies representing 176 countries. 

Memorials and monuments define the city's landscape, 

honoring our nation's greatest leaders and fallen 

heroes, and as we approach Memorial Day, it provides 

the perfect backdrop for reflecting on how museums 

preserve powerful memories. 

Be sure to post. tweet, upload and share your 

experiences on the web and social media with

Annual Meeting Theme 

Power, Influence and Responsibility 

Museums are powerful community assets 

economically. culturally, educationally and as places 

to convene and discuss issues of the day. They 

memorialize historic events and bear witness to 

political and social change. They strive to foster healthy 

dialogue and provide a venue for healing and renewal. 

Museums use their power to teach respect for cultural 

differences and foster community cohesion and 

sustainability. How is your museum using its power'? 

Washington. DC, is one of the most powerful cities 

in the world and the proud home of more than 200 

museums and embassies representing 176 countries. 

Memorials and monuments define the city's Landscape, 

honoring our nation's greatest leaders and fallen 

heroes and providing the perfect backdrop for reflecting 

on how museums preserve powerful memories. 

Washington, DC, is filled with examples of how society 

has become more just and compassionate. whether 

through laws or civic demonstrations. Yet the city also 

struggles with poverty. educational inequity and the 

quest for municipal independence. 

In her keynote address at the AAM 2015 Annual 

Meeting and MuseumExpo in Atlanta, National 

Museum of African Art Director Johnnetta Betsch Cole 

said, "If we are to be relevant [and] stay artistically and 

financially viable, [we must rethink] what takes place 

in our museums. to whom our museums belong and 

who the colleagues are who have the privilege of telling 

important stories through the power of science. history, 

culture and art." 

Continuing the Atlanta annual meeting theme 

"The Social Value of Museums;• we' LL explore how 

museums in the United States and around the world 

are using their power to advance society and how they 

can better address the issue of social inequality. Are 

museums welcoming and accessible to all audiences? 

Are museums engaging communities to address 

controversial topics? Are museums actively developing 

an inclusive workplace? 

We invite the museum field to explore responsibilities 

that come with living in a democratic society. Is it the 

role of museums to address social justice issues? How 

do museums provide an appropriate community forum 

for civic debate? How do museums educate policy 

makers about the many ways they address community 

needs through their programs and services? How 

do museums Leverage their power through their key 

stakeholders- volunteers, trustees, visitors and donorto 

demonstrate their social value?

AIFRICAINJ MlEINJAGlERilE 

AFRICAN MENAGERIE is a traveling exhibition consisting of seven visually interlocking panels the largest of which is 

a ten-foot by five-foot centerpiece, plus one-hundred related research sketches and m ixed media studies port raying 

a wide array of African wild life. The exhibition is available in August 2018. A book accompanies the exhibit ion. 

" In 1857, the great Hudson River School painter Frederic E. Church unveiled his 40"x 90" painting of Niagara Falls. 

The fascination w it h and publicity about the painting brought out more than 100,000 people to see what was then 

considered a colossal masterwork. Brian Jarvi has spent t he past fourteen years realizing a dream grounded in his 

childhood fascination with collections o f local animal species and informed by his lifelong st udies of Africa."

great works of art survived the thefts and devastation of World

journey to tell the story of the Monuments Men, the unsung 

heroes who saved the world's greatest art and cultural 

treasures for the benefit of civilization.

Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art. The Foundation

iNUEVOlution!: Museums and 

Demographic Change 

Friday, May 27, 3-3:30 p.m. 

Convention Center 2078 

The southeastern United States has led the nation in Latino 

population growth during the past quarter century. Levine 

Museum of the New South, Atlanta History Center and 

Birmingham Civil Rights Institute have been instrumental in 

helping their cities understand this seismic demographic shift 

by creating robust new program m ing that invites newcomers 

and longtime residents to come together for reflection and 

cross·cultural interaction. Join the conversation and explore 

the findings of the innovative Latino New South Learning 

Network that brought the t hree museums together to engage 

with Latino com munities across the South and to develop the 

ground breaking exhibition INUEVOlution!: Latinos and the 

New South. 

Em ily Zimmern served as executive director/president of 

Levine Museum of the New South from 1995 to 201 5. Under 

her leadership, active engagement in Charlotte's civic life 

became the m useum's hallmark and attracted national recognit 

ion, including the National Award for Museum Service 

from IMLS and two Excellence in Exhibition Awards from 

AAM. From her twenty years of experi ences, she has come to 

believe ever more strongly that shared stories build comm 

unity, that everyone's history matters and that confronting 

the unvarnished truth about the past can set individuals and 

com munities free to change and create a better future.

We are very excited to have the opportunity to partner with 

the Association for Women in Events to introduce special 

program ming for the museum event professional and those 

with even t managem ent responsibilities. 

The role of the museum event m anager is an essential one 

and varies greatly from museum to museum. It is directly 

linked to an institution's fundraising goals and is an extension 

of the museum's broader goal of creating special visitor 

experiences. 

This program is designed to bring museum event 

professionals from the Washing ton, DC. area and across the 

country together to network, address common challenges. be 

inspired by fresh ideas and deepen understanding of event 

planning principles and practices.
