Advocacy!

Definition of advocate (noun) [ad·​vo·​cate ˈad-və-kət]: one who supports or promotes the interests of a cause or group

According to Merriam-Webster, an advocate is defined as “one who supports or promotes the interest of a cause or group.” The North Carolina Museums Council (NCMC) strives to be just that.

We work to promote the cause of our field and you as a museum professional. This page is the start of an “advocacy tool kit” we are developing that will empower you to advocate anytime, either by yourself or with your colleagues at NCMC.

With these tools and resources, we want YOU to feel comfortable advocating on either a local, state, or national level.
