The Texas Association of Museums Annual Meeting is a yearly conference which offers programs on current developments in the museum field for staff, trustees, and volunteers from museums of all sizes and disciplines, and provides a forum in which to meet colleagues.  Participants attend professional sessions which explain and debate the wide spectrum of issues facing the museum world. 

The 2008 TAM Annual Meeting, March 25th-28th, explored the ways that museums can prepare for a future with an unpredictable forecast.  Presentation topics included natural disasters and emergency preparedness, funding, security, and technology.

The Rosenberg Library hosted a reception Wednesday night honoring those who serve as board members and directors for museums throughout the state of Texas.
