A Trusted Network for Museum Development Leaders
AMDA membership connects heads of Development from museums of every size across North America. It provides a confidential and collegial space to exchange ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another—strengthening both individual leadership and the field as a whole.
The Annual Conference
Each year, a leading art museum hosts the AMDA Annual Conference, a centerpiece of our community.
Year-Round Connection
Beyond the conference, members engage through AMDA’s private listserve, an invitation-only forum where professional questions are shared, ideas are exchanged, and opportunities are posted in a trusted peer environment. Pose pressing questions, share pertinent information, and stay connected year-round with this resourceful network of peers.
Join the AMDA Community
Membership and conference participation are open to the senior-most development executive at each art museum. Each institution may enroll one representative, and membership is required to attend the annual conference.
