Washington Museum Association

The Washington Museum Association will conduct a pilot program that provides basic training in core museum competencies to individuals working in volunteer-run museums.  In partnership with the Washington State Historical Society, the program will build capacity amongst Washington’s smallest history organizations through a cohort-based approach, connecting them to well-established professional development opportunities offered by national organizations. The pilot will result in a sustainable model that other state museum associations, state historical societies, and heritage organizations can adapt for their own use.
