CAJM Conference 2024
May 14-16, 2024
Washington, DC & Baltimore, MD
SEE THE PROGRAM AGENDA!
American Jewish museums have long played a role in strengthening the public square and civic participation. Whether working directly with teachers and schools, illuminating the journey of religious freedoms in America, anchoring and stimulating informed public dialogue, or modeling inclusion and democracy — museums are an integral force in public life.
With American society now so deeply divided, museums of all kinds are developing new ideas about their role in democracy — for the immediate year ahead and beyond.
In partnership with A More Perfect Union: The Jewish Partnership for Democracy, the CAJM 2024 conference activated new thinking across museums to elevate their civic engagement. Thank you to all who participated so thoughtfully and meaningfully.
