A MESSAGE FROM THE MEMBERSHIP TEAM

Reflect, Plan, Make Way for Improvements

It’s hard to believe we are at the end of another year! I’m grateful for having such an amazing SEMC team to work with and proud of the values we uphold to provide beneficial services and opportunities for our members to further the work they do. The uniqueness and diversity of our members provide so much opportunity for us to all grow and learn from each other’s strengths.

When I look back on the year, I want to give thanks for the support of our members. You rely on SEMC for a diverse culture, project collaboration and communication, and it is the love you have for the museum field that drives us to do our best.

During your year-end reflection, think about the ways you contributed to your team, both at your institution and through collaborations with SEMC colleagues. What gifts did you receive this year that helped further your goals? Take a moment to thank your SEMC fellow members for taking the journey with you through growth and accomplishments. If you hit a bumpy road or two this year (we all did!), learn from it and let it go. Letting go is vital to creating space for the new experiences that await you in 2023!
