Detroit Institute of Arts
Dear Friends,
What a great time we had together in Detroit at this year’s AMDA conference. I hope you found it as useful in your work and as fun as I did.
The content of Michael Moody’s presentation can be found in his book that was in your welcome bag. I walked away with so many ideas both from our presenters and from all of you that I will put into practice. And a renewed energy for the work.
I am so pleased that Emma Heald, Senior Director of Development, Pérez Art Museum Miami, will be our next president and host the 2026 AMDA conference. Following Emma, Karie Burch will take the reins and host us in Portland, Oregon, in 2027. More on future plans coming your way soon.
In the meantime, THANK YOU for your enthusiasm and commitment to our work, and to each other.
Best regards to all,
Nina Sapp, CFRE
President, AMDA
SVP, Chief Development Officer, Detroit Institute of Arts
