Wanda Chin Scholarship

Wanda Chin Professional Development Fund Silent and Live Auctions

Since 1997 our annual conference has featured a silent auction in the exhibit hall. The proceeds from the auction will fund the scholarship program of the Western Museums Association, helping to fund travel and participation in the annual meeting for professionals who might otherwise not be able to attend. This program is a vital component in our mission to reach all sectors of our constituency.

Suggested items might be:

* Museum gift shop items; Craft items, jewelry, books,

* Wine from your state

* Travel packages to upcoming the WMA conference or vacation spots (consider donating hotel nights and/or air miles)

* A stay at your vacation home

If WMA receives written notification of your donation by one month prior to the conference, you will be acknowledged in the List of Auction Items, which is posted on our website and at the conference.

Items may be brought or sent directly to the conference location, but you must fill out this form in advance in order to receive proper acknowledgement at the conference. Please provide us with a description of the item and estimated value. Large items may be shipped to high bidder (at the donor’s expense) after the conference as long a clear photograph of the item is provided to WMA in advance for the auction table. Please note that WMA may combine your item with others if such a combination would bring higher bids.
