Message from the President of ICOM Canada

Dear ICOM Colleagues:

Happy New Year to all and best wishes for a most productive, creative and prosperous 2015. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continuous support of ICOM Canada and its activities. With this new year, it is once again time to reaffirm this support by renewing your membership for 2015.

I understand that there have been issues surrounding renewals and directions so please note the following closely.

Although ICOM (Paris) has provided us with a new membership fee structure for 2015, the ICOM Canada Board has decided to maintain the current fees as per the year 2014.

As a reminder, I am happy to provide you with the structure as it stood last year and which it will remain in effect for 2015. Please send your membership renewals to:

I hope that you will not only renew your own membership, but will also take this opportunity to encourage your institution and fellow staff and colleagues to join ICOM as individual members in order to increase our representation on the world stage and spread the values of ICOM more widely.

ICOM offers a large number of very active, specialized committees for museum professionals like you to participate in. I strongly encourage you to join one of them in order to share the excellence of Canadian Museology with members throughout the world. To choose a committee, please visit the ICOM (Paris) website.

ICOM Canada has already more than 500 members. We are convinced that we can increase that number significantly if each one of us is committed to doing so. 

On behalf of the Board of ICOM Canada, I thank you in advance for your commitment and your support.

Sincerely,

 

Shirley Madill

President
