A published series and educational program featuring models of how museums can navigate the transition out of the pandemic and integrate social justice issues into their work.

Resources for Museum Decision-makers Emerging from Crisis is a ten-part publication series and educational program, featuring successful experiments by museums across the country reformulating in the wake of COVID-19 and social justice calls for greater diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion (DEAI) across our institutions. Recovery Issue Brief will include topics on the minds of museum decision-makers. Following publication, AAM will broadly disseminate the Recovery Issue Brief series to the field, partnering with allied associations and organizations to reach their members. Follow-on learning opportunities through webinar and virtual conferences, will engage the museum professionals spearheading successful experiments with other museum decision-makers and staff, to learn from the recent past and spark discussion about the future of museums in America.
