Now in its third year, this component continues to evolve based on cohort feedback. Designed for senior-level membership professionals and repeat AMMC attendees, Leadership Forum participants connect with a trusted peer cohort through virtual sessions and an exclusive in-person session during the conference.
While in Los Angeles, participants will network with peers to share and discuss the challenges of managing complex membership programs in a changing world [session details will be added shortly].
Online sessions scheduled before and after the conference will allow cohort members to connect and gain valuable insights to positively impact both your organization and the museum membership field. The Leadership Forum fee includes ongoing online access to the cohort between conferences.
Recommended for the individual that has primary responsibility for membership at their institutions. To ensure the cohort is as broad as possible within our space constraints, we request each organization select one individual to participate. If you would like to be considered for an exception please reach out to Ruth White.
