Project Description

Founded in 1979, the California Association of Museums (CAM) is one of the largest and most active state museum associations in the nation. In 2011, CAM’s Board of Directors approved a five-year strategic plan, Leading California Museums into the Future, that presented future directions as a 21st century association responding to the evolving external environment for museums. In 2015, the CAM Board renewed the organization’s commitment to collaboration and collective action through the adoption of a revised strategic framework. The organization’s current mission is “CAM unifies and strengthens California museums for collective impact” with the vision of “Stronger museums for a stronger California.” Guided by this vision, the association has been heavily invested in field leadership and has led innovative initiatives for over a decade.
