[NHCOLL-L:2889] Announcing MAP application availability

[Beth Merritt]

Applications for the February 15, 2006 postmark deadline for the Museum
Assessment Program are now available at
www.aam-us.org/museumresources/map/apply_howto.cfm.
Applicants will be accepted into the program on a first-come,
first-served basis.

Under a new Cooperative Agreement with the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS), the American Association of Museums (AAM) has
streamlined the program, making it more accessible to the field.
Changes this year include a decrease in the number of days (now 90) your
museum must be open to be eligible, and museums with budgets under
$125,000 can now participate for free.  AAM covers all Surveyor travel
costs (up to $850) and participants receive a $150 Resource Packet from
the AAM Bookstore at the completion of their assessment.

The Museum Assessment Program (MAP) is an assessment tool that can help
your museum attain excellence in operations and planning through a
confidential process of self-study and peer review.

For more information, or to request a hard copy of the application, call
202/289-9118 or e-mail map at aam-us.org.
