Undertaking the #AMA has been a hugely valuable development journey. It has helped me build confidence, reflect more deeply on my practice, and recognise the value of my contribution to the #museum sector. If you’re an MA Member, I’d encourage you to explore this inclusive and rewarding opportunity.

Goodbye #Bournemouth Big thanks to #Russell-CotesArtGallery&Museum for hosting our England:SW #MAmembers meet-up. What a stunning building and collection We heard from members about improved access, re-branding, challenges to improve connecting suppliers with members. It’s been a lovely afternoon.
