WMA 2022 Annual Meeting

The Western Museums Association’s (WMA), in partnership with the Oregon Museums Association (OMA), was held October, 6th-9th, 2022 in Portland, Oregon.
 
WMA's Annual Meeting is known as a premier venue for those who work in the museum industry to exchange ideas and best practices, network with colleagues, and learn from each other by attending valuable sessions. Attendees come away inspired and energized about their profession. Upon returning home, they seek out opportunities to grow and further the creative culture that is the foundation of our society.
 
After years a part, this year’s gathering looked and felt different. WMA 2022 was designed to meet the complex needs of the museum field to learn, heal, and connect in a safe environment. While being a fun and creative gathering of museum folk, the Annual Meeting dug into how museums can foster on-going conversations, encourage forward-thinking ideas, and empower future generations for the betterment of the museum field and our global society.
 
Together, we will continue to make positive changes in the museum field.
