Join COSMAMembership in COSMA benefits both individual SMAs and the SMA community as a whole. Just like your state museum association, the more individual organizations (SMAs or museums) that join, the stronger you are and more work you can accomplish. While membership in COSMA is limited to state museum associations (SMAs), we encourage those who support the goals of COSMA to make an individual donation or join our Partners Program. |
