Gail Anderson has dedicated much of her 40+ year career researching, amassing and sharing resources and new ideas to advance the museum field. With all the pressures that museum leaders face on a daily basis, her goal has been to make resources easily available with practical and accessible approaches and tools, now more critical than ever in 2020. As president of Gail Anderson & Associates (GA&A) she works with museum leaders to facilitate institutional transformation, build institutional and leadership capacity, and expand community and global relevance. GA&A services include strategic planning, organizational restructuring, institutional assessment and development, board development, as well as individual coaching. She has worked with more than 65+ clients and completed over 105+ projects, the majority of which are repeat clients speaking to long-term relationships. Prior to launching her own consulting business, Anderson was deputy director of The Mexican Museum, vice president of Museum Management Consultants, chair of the graduate department of museum studies at JKF University in Berkeley, California, assistant director at the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, and museum educator at the Museum of Northern Arizona.
