Museum, executive director now member of AAMD

Laguna Art Museum and Executive Director Malcolm Warner received membership into the Association of Art Museum Directors.

“It’s an honor — and it’s also very useful,” Warner said in a press release. “The AAMD meetings are a great opportunity for museum leaders to make the connections that lead to collaborations — the sharing of exhibitions for instance.”

The association, founded in 1916, helps members maintain high standards for themselves and the museums they represent, according to a news release.

Membership is open to directors of museums that meet the association’s requirements and qualifications.
