NEMA is a space where no museum professional is alone. No matter where you are in your career, or where you are located in the region, we work hard to make sure you feel connected to others in the museum field.

Your donation to the NEMA Annual Appeal supports scholarships for museum professionals at all levels who would not otherwise be able to attend our conference. One emerging museum professional noted, "the NEMA annual conference... gave me new perspectives and ideas for my career ahead... I was also able to meet and build connections across the field, speaking with [museum staff] in all stages of the careers who gave me a greater confidence in my current trajectory."

Support and strengthen the museum field in our region by donating to the 2026 NEMA Annual Appeal today: nemanet.org/give

Gifts of all sizes will help us reach our goal.

NEMA strives to be there for museum professionals like you, connecting thousands of individuals from all stages of their careers, and more than 450 organizations across six New England states. We do the “work behind the work” that helps museums to better serve their communities, including:

- The largest annual regional museum conference in the country,
- More than 60 professional development opportunities each year,
- PAGs, CoPs, and networking events,
- The NEMA Salary and Benefits Survey,
- Our job board, NEMA Jobs,
- Advocacy on behalf of museums at the regional and national level, and resources and tools that you can use to advocate for museums yourself.

NEMA aims to be a central hub where museum professionals can work together to address the important issues, concerns, and opportunities for museums in our region. Your donation to our Annual Appeal supports all of this work. By donating today, you are also spreading opportunities to colleagues, by helping us provide conference scholarships for your fellow members who need financial support.

There is still time to sign up for tomorrow's LGBTQIA+ Museum Staff & Students PAG meeting! As national conversations regarding LGBTQIA+ identities continue to be divisive, it is essential organizations invest in staff inclusion initiatives. While q***r leadership and decision-making is essential to successful, authentic work, it is also demanding work. Inclusion leaders are called upon to educate others, debate competing—if not outright discriminatory—perspectives, navigate complex organizational systems, and advise on rebuilding policy and culture.

Tomorrow, June 2 at 1 pm, join NEMA and Ali Kane for a workshop for inclusion leaders, LGBTQIA+ identifying and allies, who are seeking advice on developing healthy advocacy practices. We will explore ways to operationalize care and peer allyship, review best practices for having courageous conversations, and discuss sustainable self-care.

The NEMA Board and staff are excited to announce the search for our new Executive Director!

NEMA is seeking a dynamic and visible Executive Director (ED) to advance its mission and help shape the future of the museum field across New England. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the ED serves as the organization’s chief ambassador—building powerful connections among museum professionals, institutions, and allies, and championing the value of museums with civic leaders regionally and nationally.

This role blends vision and action: setting strategic direction, driving fundraising and engagement, offering useful programming to its members, and inspiring and mentoring a small but dedicated team. The ED has a unique opportunity to elevate NEMA’s voice, expand its impact, and help define what’s next for museums in the region and beyond.
