Florida Association of Museums

Florida Association of Museums (FAM) will build on and refine a mentor-mentee program to help Florida collections care professionals learn best practices and develop critical collections care institutional documents for their organizations. FAM will deliver a program offering participants training to craft collections plans and policies, build a network of trusted colleagues, and develop leadership skills. This phase will also expand the project beyond collections care professionals to include board members, community leaders and decision- and policy-makers about how valuable collections are for creating communities with a strong sense of place. Within three years, this project will help approximately 100 collecting organizations develop or improve their collections policies and emergency plans.
