yorkshire & humberside federation of museums and galleries
Gleadless
Founded in 1931, the Yorkshire and Humberside Federation of Museums and
Galleries was one of the first regional federations to be established. It is the
only dedicated membership organisation for people working in or for the benefit
of Museums and Galleries in the region. It exists to represent, support and
develop its members through regular meetings, newsletters, training,
consultation and lobbying. How We Work The Fed is a membership organisation run
by you, for you! The Fed is administered by an Executive Committee made up from
its membership, and elected by you, the members, at the AGM. The Executive
Committee reports back to the membership via quarterly meetings, which are open
to all. The Fed is only as active as its members. The Committee is open to all
and we are very keen for members to express an interest in joining the Committee
to keep a flow of new ideas coursing through the organisation! Mission & Values
