Emerging Professional & Student Members
Are you interested in having the opportunity to network with experienced conservation and preservation professionals? Would you like to help us fulfill our mission to support the care and conservation of our region’s cultural heritage collections?
Emerging professionals are recent graduates and/or those working with collections who currently have little professional experience in collections care work. We look forward to providing emerging professionals and students with opportunities to engage with our Professional Affiliate members through mentorship programs, workshops, and other educational events. Emerging professional and student members will also be able to connect with members of the region’s broader cultural heritage community.
