The Kingston Association of Museums has a governing Board of Directors supported through a functional committee structure and staff.
"The Kingston Association of Museums, Art Galleries and Historic Sites KAM first emerged 40 years ago as a community-initiated, professional support network to promote public awareness and increase engagement across Kingston’s cultural heritage sites. KAM is also engaged in supporting its membership through the dissemination of information, sector best practices, and professional development training related to museum/gallery/historic site function and operations. From its inception, KAM was driven by the ideal that by working collaboratively, despite differences in size, mandates and resources, cultural heritage sites and organizations could quite simply; do better together."
