Check out SEMC's Affinity Groups! | March 2025 Directives from the new Administration have impacted diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and swiftly reduced the workforce of our nation's culture keepers. Together we must recognize the challenges and uncertainties that our institutions and the real people who uphold their missions now face. Despite these challenges, our commitment to fostering inclusive and equitable cultural spaces remains unwavering. This spring SEMC will survey our members to gauge the impacts of the first 100 days and gather important feedback so we can produce programs that meet current needs and realities. We are also consolidating resources and tools that may be helpful during these unprecedented times. Check this link frequently. In the meantime, let’s continue to champion inclusivity, excellence, and equity in all our endeavors. The Southeastern Museums Conference stands beside you, offering support and resources during this transitional period.
