CAM’s core programs are an annual conference to explore best practices in the museum field, an electronic newsletter, webinars, and an active advocacy program. The conference averages about 600 attendees annually, with diverse representation of California museums and their workforce. The newsletter, CAM eNews, includes information about funding, professional development, and job opportunities. CAM also actively monitors legislation, fosters strategic initiatives and field leadership, and communicates with elected officials on museum interests.
