AMDA Membership

Greetings!

The Detroit Institute of Arts is looking forward to hosting the next AMDA conference, the primary benefit for AMDA members, in Detroit, MI, on June 8 – 12, 2025.

The annual conference, hosted by a different art museum each year, features best practices case studies; presentations and panels offering both strategic and tactical advice by experts and thought leaders in the field as well as fellow members; round table discussions for directors of development segmented by museum type and size; tours of local private collections; and networking opportunities.

Beyond the annual conference, an additional benefit of AMDA is its invitation-only listserve ([email protected]) exclusively for AMDA members, an online forum through which professional questions are posed, ideas are exchanged, jobs are posted, and candid advice is sought in a safe peer environment.

AMDA Membership and annual conference participation is open to the senior-most development executive employed by an art museum. One person from every museum may join AMDA. You must be a member to attend the conference.

If you have any questions, please contact Nina Sapp, Senior Vice President, Chief Development Officer, Detroit Institute of Arts [email protected].
