Did you know that Latinos comprise the country’s second-largest growing population but one of the least represented in the museum world? Is your museum ready to engage this audience? Members of AAM’s Latino Network will introduce a new project to develop recommendations and resources that will help museum professionals navigate Latinx community engagement. Explore the key content areas and strategies to be included in the guidelines, and offer feedback and ideas to enhance the project.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the diversity, complexity, and size of Latinx communities in the United States and the rationale for engaging this audience.
• Discuss strategies in seven broad areas that can guide museums in implementing local or regional Latinx engagement efforts.
• Recommend at least three potential Latinx engagement strategies to your organization.
