Dear Colleagues,
Would you like low-cost professional development and networking
opportunities? How about money saving discounts for supplies you already
use? Then let me personally invite you to join the Wisconsin Federation of
Museums.
WFM membership is an economical way for institutions and their staffs to
take advantage of high-quality, low-cost professional development
opportunities and to stay in touch with Wisconsin museum colleagues. The WFM
is the only non-profit statewide organization dedicated to promoting
Wisconsin museums and the museum profession.
ALERT! Gaylord is offering all current WFM members special pricing
throughout the month of June. They will advertise it as "June Contract Bonus
Days" and it will apply an additional 5% discount off an entire order,
excluding freight. The special price will be adjusted through WFM's regular
Contract Priority Code # WIFM04.
**You must be a current WFM member to take advantage of this offer**
The Wisconsin Federation of Museums Annual Associates Conference is
scheduled to be held Monday, November 12, 2012 at the Milwaukee County Zoo.
Please consider submitting a session proposal for the meeting. WFM
individual and institutional members receive discounts on both the workshops
and the annual meeting fees.
In addition to the discounted registration fees, there are many reasons to
be a part of WFM:
*EXPOSURE: Member organizations are listed on the WFM website. Your website
can be linked to the WFM website for even greater exposure. We are working
to make this listing a must-visit site for tourists to learn about Wisconsin

*SAVINGS & DISCOUNTS: WFM members receive discounts from vendors of archival
items, display cases, and other materials from vendors like Gaylord and
Associated Bag. Also, member museums can post job listings on the WFM
website FREE for 60 days.

D.C. We are a sponsor of "Arts Day" and AAM Museum Advocacy Day. WFM is

*PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Professional Workshops and the Annual Associates
Conference provide professional development opportunities at a moderate cost
and without major travel expenses.

Because of these tough economic times, dues are kept to a reasonable cost.
For institutions with an annual budget of less than $350,000, dues are still
$40. For institutions with an annual budget of $350,000 or higher, they are
only $60. Individual memberships are $15 for those who earn under $25,000
and $25 for those who earn over $25,000.
