Are you looking for a fun and rewarding way to support the arts, culture, education, and sciences in the Bay Area? We welcome all Cultural Connections members to actively participate as members of the board. We recruit new board members annually and are currently accepting applications.

Cultural Connections is a community of Bay Area museum professionals who meet regularly to exchange ideas, share resources, and inspire creativity and action. Its purpose is to provide avenues for communication and collaboration among those involved in museums and other cultural institutions. Each board member supports the mission by participating in program planning and related activities.

Board members keep their fingers on the pulse of what’s innovative and interesting in the world of informal education. We organize professional development events throughout the year to share these trends and topics with the Cultural Connections community.

We are accepting applications for the 2023-2025 board term! Learn about the responsibilities of being a board member here, and apply here by Monday, April 17, 2023. Send your resume to board.cc@gmail.com to complete your application!
