Our speaker was Elizabeth Merritt, Founding Director of the American Association of Museum’s Center for the Future of Museums. Her areas of expertise include museum standards, and best practices, ethics, collections management and planning and assessment of nonprofit performance. Elizabeth talked about the CFM’s forecasts. She expects AAM to have the most profound influence on Museums. She looks forward to a lively back and forth with the audience regarding how museums can help society meet these challenges and build a better future.
