"I'm continually impressed by the helpfulness, dedication, and competency of ... the VAM staff. Joining VAM was certainly one of the best decisions I ever made."
- John Reynolds, Patrick County Historical Society and Museum
“Building connections and making acquaintances is in my opinion, just as valuable, if not more valuable than training and education. It was through these connections that I was able to get my first full-time museum job and be appointed to the board of VAM.”
- Paige Gibbons Backus, VAM Council VP of Governance, Historic Site Manager, Prince William County Parks and Recreation
