About Emerging Museum Professionals!
What is EMP (Emerging Museum Professionals)?
The EMP group was started by a handful of AAM's emerging staffers who recognized that people new to the museum field needed a better roadmap for career development and networking. AAM is the American Association of Museums (http://www.aam-us.org/). This organization expanded the idea of EMP to a national scale and there are currently active EMP networks in New York, Seattle, San Diego and Los Angeles.... and now Chicago! Each network is organized by one or more local museum professionals. Most active areas have 4-10 events each year. You can go to AAM's website and check out their EMP page - they offer a range of resources and information (http://www.aam-us.org/getinvolved/emp/index.cfm).
Am I an EMP?
Emerging Museum Professionals are museum or arts-related staff/employees that have been in the field for 10 years or less. This covers a wide range of people - from traditional museum staff to arts consulting firms, art students to teaching artists! If you are interested in this group, then you are in!
What can I expect from EMP?
That is the beauty of this group! We can get what we want and need out of it for our local community- whether that be networking, professional development, or something else! At our first event, I heard alot of people say that networking and professional development topped the list.
What can I contribute to EMP?
Your ideas, enthusiasm and community. We want to hear from all of you - what kind of experiences are you looking for? Do you have resources our group could use for an event or program? maybe a venue or a great speaker? Finally, the most important things you can do is spread the word. The larger our network is, the better! If you are interested in planning an event or have a great idea - let us know.
Who do I contact about EMP in Chicago?
For now, I will be the main contact for EMP in Chicago. You can email me with questions, ideas, or suggestions. (sheetalita@gmail.com).
Stay Connected!
If you are intersted in keeping up with what AAM is offering for EMPs around the country, get on their mailing list. Send an email to emergingprofessionals@aam-us.org and you will receive regular emails about AAM and EMP nationally.
