As you may have heard, the Michigan Museums Association (MMA) is  part of the formation of a new organization to bring together statewide cultural organizations to help advocate for our communities on the state level. We are excited to be part of the Cultural Advocacy Network of Michigan which represents statewide cultural organizations by advocating on their behalf in the Michigan Legislature. 

The Cultural Advocacy Network of Michigan strives to bring a collective voice for cultural organizations in Michigan.  The organization will lead advocacy and education efforts to influence decision making at the highest levels of state and local government and ensure that cultural leaders have the tools they need to deliver the highest quality of service for the individuals they serve.

For more information about MMA's involvement, please contact the MMA office (313-334-7643 ) or email Lisa Craig Brisson.
