The Alliance aims to partner with the MuseumExpert.org team to bring greater visibility to this critical resource to those who need it most, expand additional partnership opportunities to reach more prospective employers, and to continue to strategize with the MuseumExpert.org team on how this innovative resource can serve to further equity in our field.

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) is a proud partner of MuseumExpert.org. The zoo and aquarium community has worked tirelessly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to provide their animals with the highest standard of animal care, engage virtually with their guests, maintain their facilities, and more. Unfortunately, many of the staff at our accredited facilities have been impacted as a result of the extended closure periods our members have experienced. AZA joins MuseumExpert.org in supporting those who have lost their jobs in the museum, informal learning, zoo, aquarium, and cultural sector during the pandemic by connecting professionals with employment and development opportunities.
