New AIM trustees elected

Three new Trustees have been appointed to the AIM Board following the AGM in June

Liz Power 

Liz has worked in museums for over 23 years, starting out as a member of the front of house team at the Science Museum. Since then, she has focused on making sure museums are welcoming for all, working on outreach programmes, education marketing and community
engagement. For nine years Liz was Head of Learning at London Transport Museum, leading the team delivering programming for families, school, communities, and young people.

At the end of 2018 she was appointed Director of the London Museum of Water & Steam, a small independent industrial museum in West London with an aim to embed the museum into the local community, deepen the museum audience and sustain its future. Over the last three years she has led a process of transformation in all areas of the museum, and during the pandemic was able to bring in financial support to further the aims of the museum.

Liz is delighted to be able to join AIM as a trustee as she feels being a member has been key to the changes at London Museum of Water & Steam, as well as in Liz’s own learning as she has moved through her career. She hopes to be able to give back to AIM, and help it support other small museums in the way it has supported her.

Charlotte Morgan

Charlotte has been Collaborative Programmes Manager at Cornwall Museums Partnership (CMP) since summer 2020. Her role has two central priorities: managing the delivery of CMP’s NPO programme alongside a consortia of seven museums in Cornwall, and new programme development and fundraising.

Prior, she led the reopening and stabilisation of Cynon Valley Museum Trust, a newly independent museum moving away from local authority management. Charlotte has also held roles, both paid and voluntary, at Mansfield Museum, the Egypt Centre Swansea, the Federation of Welsh Museums and Galleries, and the Museums Association. She embeds collaborative, inclusive, and experimental values in her work and is committed to systematic change in light of the climate emergency. She is passionate about museums’ role in the creation of healthy and sustainable future communities.
