Iowa Museum Association Hosts 2025 Annual Meeting

September 8 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

Join museum colleagues from across Iowa for the 2025 Iowa Museum Association (IMA) Annual Meeting! This free virtual gathering brings together professionals from museums, historical societies, and cultural institutions to connect, learn, and celebrate the IMA’s ongoing impact.

The program features a keynote presentation from Amy Ziegler of the Iowa Tourism Office, who will introduce the state’s new Travel Area Designations and explore how your organization can benefit from their robust online resources. IMA President Tara Templeman will deliver the 2025 State of the Organization Address, reflecting on the past year’s achievements and officially launching the IMA’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.

You’ll also enjoy interactive trivia breaks (with prizes!) highlighting the history of the Iowa Museum Association and its member organizations. All attendees will be entered into a drawing for a free 2026 IMA Conference Registration, which will take place in Ames, Iowa as part of our 50th anniversary festivities.
