AAM Webinar – Required Elements of a Museum Code of Ethics

The American Alliance of Museums is holding a series of webinars on the essential documents that are fundamental for professional museum operations and that embody core museum values and practices. These documents are: a mission statement, an institutional code of ethics, a strategic plan, a disaster preparedness/emergency response plan, and a collections management policy. Together, they documents codify and guide a museum’s actions, promote institutional stability and viability, and allow museums to better fulfill their educational, stewardship, and community roles. Upcoming webinars and documents covered are:

• June 19: Required Elements of a Museum Code of Ethics
• September 11: Museum Mission
• November 6: Institutional Plan

All webinars are from 2-3:30pm.

Registration fees vary based on AAM membership.

The Core Documents program is part of AAM’s new Continuum of Excellence, a new assessment structure that also includes the Pledge of Excellence, the Museum Assessment Program, and Accreditation.
