LEADERSHIP

A small administrative staff leads MANY in partnership with a member-elected volunteer Board of Directors. Based in Troy, New York, in the capital region, all operations are conducted remotely.  Programming and activities take place in each of the ten state Regional Economic Development Council regions. Board members are experienced museum professionals and industry stakeholders–there is an annual call for applications and nominations.
