ACM TREND REPORTS

ACM has partnered with Knology to create the ACM Trends Reports series, which shares practical information for children’s museums to tell the story of our field, drawing from more than a decade of ACM member data.

The ACM Trends Reports help museum professionals use data to become more accountable to their mission and fiscal responsibilities. Concise and easily understood, the reports can be shared in internal communications with your organization’s stakeholders, including staff, Board members, and funders, or for use in marketing materials and presentations.
