National Museum of Wildlife Art forming community engagement panel
Applicants encouraged to get involved
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — The National Museum of Wildlife Art (NMWA) is forming a new committee, the Community Advisory & Engagement Panel (CAEP), tasked with the mission of engaging with the public to help improve public perceptions, increase awareness, and drive visitation from all sectors of the community.
While the majority of committees at the museum are comprised almost entirely of board members and museum staff, the majority of this committee will consist of community members. CAEP will be responsible for helping the museum facilitate a feedback system that serves as a way to solicit opinions and expertise from different community members.
Panel members will serve for a minimum of two years, attend quarterly meetings (in person or via Zoom), and provide feedback as requested. They will help identify community members who could be interested in participating in museum programs, events, and exhibits. Members will also assist staff in evaluation and reporting of past programs, events, exhibits, as needed. They will be an advocate for the museum in the community, spread the word about the benefits NMWA can provide, and be a resource for volunteer needs.
Successful applicants will be involved community members who are interested in the arts. Museum membership is encouraged. Applications will be accepted through May 29. Museum staff and trustees will review the applications and notify applicants of the museum’s decision by the end of June.
Positions are limited and the museum is committed to ensuring that the panel is representative of the community and that all key stakeholders are represented.
