West Midlands Museum Policy Forum

The West Midlands Museum Policy Forum represents the interests of the museums sector in policy and strategy development in the West Midlands. It was established in 2003 as an independent consultative and advisory body to support the work of the MLA Council in the West Midlands. Forum membership includes representation from local authority, independent, national, university and regimental museums and from the Renaissance West Midlands Hub partnership.

An Annual Open Meeting is held in the region each year. The 2009 meeting was held at the Wedgwood Museum in May on "The Entrepreneurial Museum".

The Chair is Helen Maclagan, Head of Heritage and Culture for Warwickshire, email: helenmaclagan@warwickshire.gov.uk.

The Secretary is Jane Arthur, Museums & Heritage Consultant, email: jane.l.arthur@birmingham.gov.uk.
