Membership
In 2023 the Brockport Community Museum revised its by-laws to include the category of “Members”. While “Trustees” are voting members of the governing body of the Museum, “Members” are individuals who choose to support the Museum in a variety of ways . Such support includes but is not necessarily confined to: volunteering assistance with Museum programs; providing a voluntary financial contribution; assisting with Museum projects, research, writing, and publications; and lending special expertise to the management of the Museum.
Any individual, business or other entity interested in becoming a Member shall, with the approval of the Board and without regard to residence, be admitted to the Membership upon application to join it by contacting us and including “Membership” in the subject line.
We are looking for your input. If you have a photo or letter or story or article that pertains to our topics please become a member and send us your submission.
