Dear WMA 2022 Annual Meeting Volunteers,

Over the course of four consecutive days, attendees at WMA’s 2022 Annual Meeting will hear from colleagues in a variety of fields during informative sessions, will get hands-on experience in Pre-Conference Workshops, tour some of Portland’s finest institutions, and connect with other museum folk.

The Western Museums Association (WMA) is currently seeking enthusiastic volunteers for our 2022 Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon! Every year, WMA's volunteers play an integral part in the success of the conference. Volunteers help to set a positive tone and foster meaningful experiences and interactions for our attendees.

Have you already registered for WMA’s 2022 Annual Meeting, but would like to add another ticketed event or two, to your existing registration packet? Well, you still can!

This fall, WMA will welcome museum professionals as they arrive in Portland, Oregon for four days of learning and connecting at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

With the theme of FORWARD, WMA's 2022 Annual Meeting will focus on the ways museums can be adaptable, FORWARD-thinking institutions, and will be more inclusive and participatory then ever before.

What does it mean for a museum to be forward-thinking? How can museum professionals better approach and establish institutional change?

Are you a passionate advocate for change, yet frustrated by the barriers you face within your institution?
