Open Forum

Do you want to advance the field of museum education and connect with peers, both nationally and internationally? Consider joining the Museum Education Roundtable Board of Directors!

Each year the Museum Education Roundtable (MER) seeks nominations of qualified professionals for election to the MER Board of Directors. MER is one of the longest-standing nonprofit organizations championing museums as fundamentally educational institutions and helping professionalize museum education. Our lead product, the Journal of Museum Education (JME), is the only professional, peer-reviewed journal for the field. Through the JME and related programs and networking, we advance the museum field by promoting scholarship, dialogue, and community related to critical issues in museum education. This is an exciting time in MER’s evolution, as we celebrate 40 years of JME publication, move to a new publisher, leverage our content in new ways, continue building a virtual community, and benefit from a healthy board and sound financial position.

MER seeks committed and talented people from diverse disciplines for this working board. Self-nominations are welcome.

The nominations process for this year now open. You can find further information and the nomination form here:
