CARE, AAM's audience research and evaluation standing professional committee, is also looking for 
session proposals for the 2010 AAM Annual Meeting. Proposals may cover any topic related to 
audience research and evaluation, but those relating to the meeting theme are given greater 
consideration.  Some potential topics that relate directly to the meeting theme include the 
following: 
	
• Research and evaluation that describes how the internet, social networks, or other communication 
efforts have been used to engage different audiences; 
• Research and evaluation that describes how museums have succeeded, or not, in responding to 
audiences including minorities, immigrants, and children; 
• Evaluations of ways technology, entertainment, or environmental issues have been integrated into 
museums; and
• Evaluations that show how museums have succeeded or not succeeded in creating networks with other 
museums in the United States and abroad.

The deadline for submitting a CARE-endorsed proposal is Friday, July 10, 2009.  While your proposal 
does not have to be endorsed by an SPC, it stands a much better chance of being accepted if it has 
an endorsement. The AAM website that describes the proposal submission process can be found at:

http://www.museumexpo.org/aam2010/public/MainHall.aspx?ID=159&sortMenu=101000

In addition, if you want help developing a CARE session, need help finding presenters, or have any 
other questions about the proposal process, contact the CARE 2010 program chair, Elizabeth Kunz
