Laurie Norton Moffatt Appointed to American Alliance of Museums’ Accreditation Commission
Norman Rockwell Museum's Director/CEO is one of six new commissioners appointed by the American Alliance of Museums, a museum industry group with 35,000 members. She will serve in this key role of national museum leadership to advance museum excellence and standards. "Over the years, Norman Rockwell Museum has received profound professional guidance, learning, and relationship-building through the Accreditation and Excellence Programs," Norton Moffatt said. "I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity to give back to this process."
Land Acknowledgement
It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
