2024 Content Advisory Committee
Meet the 2024
Content Advisory Committee
The Content Advisory Committee’s (CAC) goal is to review, grade, and select proposals that align with the 2024 Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo’s theme, Thriving Museums, Healthy Communities.
The CAC evaluates content for the Annual Meeting by reviewing proposal submissions through a “blind” peer-review process. Each of the four thematic tracks of Personal, Organizational, Community, and Society is assigned a subgroup of reviewers for detailed discussions and recommendations specific to those tracks.
The CAC works closely with AAM staff to ensure the program reflects a thoughtful balance of topics based on the needs of and active conversations in the field and previous meeting evaluations.
