DescriptionField-wide Services: The Association offers a number of services including accreditation, museum and community collaborations and the Museum Assessment Program. Accreditation is a widely recognized seal of approval that brings national recognition to American museums thereby strengthening individual museums, promoting ethical and professional standards, recognizing excellence and serving as the field's primary vehicle for quality assurance and self-regulation. Museums & Community Collaborations Abroad (MCCA) is a federally funded grant program designed to foster museum-based international exchanges in which members of the museums' communities play a leading role in strengthening connections between museums and their communities as well as the connections of US citizens and people abroad. The Museum Assessment Program (MAP) is also a federally funded program helping to maintain and improve operations in museums through a confidential, consultative process of assisting in resource allocation, documenting needs to improve funding requests, meeting and establishing priorities and understanding and implementing best practices in the industry.Description

Institutional membership shall be open to museums, non-profit organizations that operate museums, other museum-related non-profit organizations, libraries, universities, government agencies, and such other categories of institutional membership as the Board of Directors may establish from time to time. All institutional members of the Association in good standing are entitled to vote at meetings of the Association, but are not eligible for election as officers or board members-at-large. Honorary or lifetime membership may be granted to individuals and institutions at the discretion of the Board of Directors and in recognition of exemplary and selfless service to the Association of the field. Honorary members and lifetime members may not vote at meetings of the Association and are not eligible for election as officers or board members-at-large.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aIndividual membership shall be open to museum staff, non-profit organization staff, students, non-paid museum staff, retired museum staff, independent professionals, museum trustees, and such other categories of individual membership as the Board of Directors may establish from time to time. All individual members of the Association in good standing are entitled to vote at meetings of the Association and are eligible for election as officers and board members-at-large, provided they meet the additional requirements outlined in articles IV and V of the Constitution.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bCertain changes in the Association's governing documents require approval by the members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The information for the Form 990 is prepared by the accounting staff. Once the accounting firm delivers the draft, the Audit Committee reviews it, and it is then forwarded on to the entire Board of Directors for their review and approval. The President also reviews the Form 990 prior to signing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Association staff, board members, and volunteers act in the best interest of the Association rather than in furtherance of personal interests or the interests of third parties, such as friends and family. Decisions about the Association and the use or disposition of its assets are made solely in terms of the benefits to the Association and are neither influenced nor appear to be influenced, by any private profit, personal gain, or outside benefit for staff, board members, and volunteers; their friends and family members; or any organization or company with which they are affiliated. On an annual basis, all officers, directors, and key employees shall be provided with a copy of the conflict of interest policy and required to complete and sign an acknowledgement and disclosure form prepared by the Board of Directors. If a conflict arises in regards to a board member, the member immediately notifies the Chair. That member will then recluse himself or herself from any voting on a related issue, and will also not be counted towards a quorum on a related issue. For officers and key employees, a conflict would immediately be reported to management and appropriate action would be taken depending on the individual issue.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThe Board of Directors has the responsibility for reviewing and setting the President's compensation package. The Board reviews market data along with the President's performance in determining what an equitable compensation package should be. In turn, the President is charged with preparing evaluations for the Association's senior management team based on each individual's performance during the current year. This data is then used by the President in setting compensation packages for the senior management team.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Association's annual report is available on its website. The Association's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are made available on a per request basis.
