Could you help to shape the future of the MA and your sector?
Nominations are now open for two trustees of the Museums Association, one based in Northern Ireland and one based in Wales.
Trustees help to shape the strategic direction of the MA, and typically serve for a three-year term with the opportunity for reappointment for a second three-year term.
There are many benefits to becoming a trustee, including contributing to your professional association and its policy and advocacy, access to training and development, networking with fellow trustees and members, and opportunities to be involved with various committees.
Candidates must be individual members of the MA, and need two other members to support their nomination to be able to stand.
Before completing your nomination form, please read the role description which will tell you more about what the role of a board member involves. You should also read the Museums Association’s Articles of Association and the Strategic Framework 2025-2030.
The trustee role is not remunerated, but expenses for travel and subsistence are reimbursed and you’ll receive a free place at our annual conference.
Nominations can be made on our voting platform site, Mi-Voice. The closing date for receipt of completed nominations is 2359 on Tuesday 27 January 2026.
If you would like further information or have any questions about becoming a board member, please contact Alice Chalk via alice@museumsassociation.org.
