The Museums Association of Montana (MAM), founded in 1967, serves our members and the entire Montana museum community by providing assistance and professional development opportunities through our annual conferences, invaluable newsletters, and increasingly popular website and podcasts. The Yegen Award, named after the organizations founder, Peter Yegen Jr., honors excellence in the museum profession, while our conference scholarships provide avenues for museum professionals to achieve the highest standards of excellence. As a collective voice for our members, MAM strives to monitor issues and legislation important to museums, education, and culture, not only at the state level but through advocacy efforts at the regional and national levels.
