SEMC Networking Groups

SEMC members have access to three Internet discussion lists sponsored by affiliate groups: Academic Museums & Galleries (AAMG), Exhibitions (NAME) and Traveling Exhibitions (SETEG). Networking is a SEMC membership benefit.
Why join another online discussion? These groups are a great way to network with other museum professionals in the region and the country, often across disciplines. They offer valuable state-of-the-art information and thought-provoking conversations that support excellence in the field.
