Transforming the Future:
America is entering a period of rapid, transformative change. AI is expected to transmute the nature of labor, for good or for ill. Communities are scrambling to respond to escalating environmental challenges, from extreme heat to rising sea level. New forms of digital currency are disrupting traditional financial structures and amplifying inequities of wealth. Unprecedented shifts in government policy may change the very nature of the nonprofit sector. But the future has yet to be written and we, as individuals, organizations, communities, and a nation, have the power to influence the next chapter of America’s history. How can museums activate their power to shape a better future for our communities, and our country?
