Organization Summary
Museum Educators of Southern California (MESC) is one of the oldest and largest organization in the nation serving museum education professionals. For over 30 years, MESC has provided its members with opportunities for professional development, theoretical discourse, practical training, and networking. Since MESC’s founding, the field of museum education has evolved, and in response to this, in 2015, members of the MESC Board of Directors began to reevaluate the purpose of the organization. With guidance and support from membership, the board launched a two-year, multi-phase process that resulted in a new organizational mission, vision, values, and leadership structure–voted on and approved by membership in June 2017–that now serve as the foundation for MESC. Through this time of strategic development and growth, MESC has continued to offer core programming to membership including an Annual Institute.
