AIMS OF BAFM
To help, support and encourage Friends groups.
To maximise benefits of membership for both Friends and the institutions they support.
To bring diverse Friends groups together to share good practice and experience by arranging
regional meetings and an annual conference.
To improve understanding between professionals and Friends by involvement of BAFM in
professional organisations such as the regional Museums, Libraries and Archive
Councils, the Museums Association (MA) and the Association of Independent
Museums (AIM), and by inviting professionals to speak at BAFM regional meetings
and annual conferences.
To disseminate good practice and keep BAFM members abreast of modern developments in the sector by
publishing a journal three times a year and through the use of well informed
speakers at regional meetings and conferences.
To make 'Friendship' fun! To achieve this
objective we encourage, through our journals and meetings, a sense of
proportion and balance in our members, so that the whole community can enjoy
involvement.
BAFM believes that by achieving these objectives we
are giving help, support and encouragement to Friends groups and maximising the
benefits of membership for both Friends and the institutions they support. |
