ADVOCACY RESOURCESTEMPLATE ELECTION CONGRATULATIONS LETTERSLetter templates for your local, state, and national election winners.

IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILSWhen advocating, use statistics and facts to help support your claims. Consider creating a one-page fact sheet listing your annual visitation, visitor statistics, mission, annual programs and events and their community impact. You can also use Museums Alaska’s economic impact survey results to help create a bigger picture for museums and cultural institutions in our state. DO YOUR RESEARCHTwo new groundbreaking reports from the American Alliance of Museums reveal indisputable evidence that museums contribute more to the United States economy than previously thought and have widespread public support that transcends political affiliations and geographic locations.
