The Minneapolis Institute of Arts' Director and President Kaywin Feldman has been appointed president of the Association of Art Museum Directors. Her term, which begins today, is for one year.

The Association of Art Museum Directors represents and supports 198 art museum directors in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and works to increase the contributions of art museums to society.

"I am honored to have been chosen by my fellow museum directors to lead
AAMD for the next year," said Feldman. "As we implement AAMD's strategic plan,
we are also focused on making art and art museums essential to everyone. That is
the central message of our new plan, and will be a focal point for my presidency."

Feldman previously served on AAMD's board from 2007 to 2009.
