Choose the membership that fits your goals.
With an MTA membership, you will learn how to make your museum more effective, transparent, and sustainable.
Why so many membership options? Because MTA recognizes the unique qualities and needs of their Members, and to serve them effectively means to be accessible and adaptable to all.
MTA Institutional Members work across the Americas and represent a variety of disciplines, sizes and board types. When a museum joins MTA as an Institutional Member, the membership extends to the Board Chair & Officers. Institutional membership benefits include:
-
Do you have a governance question? Institutional members have access to consultations and additional resources. Call to schedule an appointment!
-
With the purchase of MTA's Templates for Trustees book series, Institutional members receive free setup for the web-based, customizable templates and ongoing assistance from MTA staff.
-
At MTA, our board and staff are committed to advocating for the museum field. Each year, we invite our Institutional Members to join us at AAM’s annual Advocacy Day at a discounted rate. You will have the opportunity to advocate for your institution and network with fellow trustees, directors and senior staff from across the country.
-
MTA works to connect museum leaders together for shared learning. We celebrate in the achievements of our Institutional Members and want to spotlight your news, events, exhibitions, community programs, and initiatives in our newsletters and social media to create connections and spread your mission.
MTA Patrons have the unique opportunity to participate in our exclusive Patron Weekend events and explore each city after the conclusion of our Forums.
With your Patron membership, you’ll experience what each cultural community has to offer through a carefully curated schedule of gallery, museum and private collections tours. These private events provide ample opportunity for board members from across the Americas to network with their peers and build lasting relationships with like-minded individuals.
