Yorkshire AMA Support Group

Who are we?

The Yorkshire AMA Support Group is a forum for museum professionals working towards the attainment of the Associateship of the Museums Association (AMA).

We aim to:

  • provide an opportunity for those working towards the Associateship of the Museums Association to share experiences and network.

  • provide the opportunity to meet at scheduled times during the year and to arrange visits and speakers that will assist members in the AMA process.
The support group works closely with MLA Yorkshire, which offers advice and support to the candidates in the region.

What we get up to?

The AMA Support Group sets the agenda for the schedule of meetings which take the form of informal discussions on issues and topics on which delegates need guidance or that are relevant to their professional development.

The group meets quarterly, usually for a full day.

The meetings include a chance for a tour of the host museum and speakers from host museums also contribute to the day. This also gives delegates the chance to network.

Details of the meetings are circulated and can also be found on the MLA Yorkshire E-info Service.
