Association of African American Museums

The Association of African American Museums (AAAM) will expand its Executive Leadership Training program in collaboration with the Howard University School of Business. Building on a successful pilot program, AAAM will offer the leadership training program to 25 participants per year selected from mid-level and senior-level museum professionals and leaders. The program includes in-person activities at the annual conference, engagement in six strategic modules, and a collaborative capstone project. Participants will gain knowledge and insights about non-profit management and leadership and expand their network of colleagues and faculty members for life-long learning and support. Participants who complete the program will receive a joint certificate from AAAM and Howard University. The project enables AAAM to provide high-quality, affordable executive leadership training for museum staff to help them lead their institutions to a stronger, more sustainable future.
