Thank you so much to everyone who responded and took time to fill out my survey. There are a lot of thoughtful answers and I promise I will work to get them pulled together into a form that can be used and shared.
As a follow-up, if anyone is/knows someone who is well versed in employment law/small business logistics (HR, lawyer, small business accountant) I would love to reach out to them about a potential session for AAM next year.
Thank you again!
Sarah

Subject: Independent Museum Professionals- Survey
Hello!
I am an independent professional who works in museum and early childhood education. I am gathering information on other people who work as contractors/freelance in the museum world to help inform an article and potential session proposal.
I have a short survey (9 questions, multiple choice or short answer!) and would really appreciate input from anyone who considers themselves to be an independent museum professional (whether full or part time). I know there are a lot of jobs being done on a contract basis and a lot of reasons people end up in this type of work and I want to make sure I reflect that.
There will be an option to include a name/email address but you are welcome to leave your answers anonymous. Please feel free to pass the survey link on to any other professionals in your network.
Thank you again for your help!
Sincerely,
Sarah
