About MPMA's Advocacy

MPMA helps its members to get their issues heard at the regional and national levels. MPMA represents the mountain and plains section of the country at the American Association of Museums' Council of Regional Associations (CRA) which discusses and advises AAM on trends and issues from around the nation. MPMA encourages its members to inform MPMA about issues and trends from the field so that it can bring these to the attention of this national body. It also encourages members to alert MPMA to any situation that may require helping public officials better understand the role of museums in a local community or state.

Should you have an issue that MPMA can help with or should know about, please contact the MPMA office at 303.979.9358 or by email at info@mpma.net.    All confidential requests will be honored.
