Please mark your calendar today and don’t miss this unique opportunity to take a virtual visit to the U.S. Army Women's Museum (AWM) at Fort Lee, VA. The AWM is the only museum in the world dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of women in the Army. On Wednesday, March 31st, at 7 PM, the Curator, Tracy Bradford, will host chapter members and guests for an overview of the galleries with highlights of the amazing stories told in the museum. Ms. Bradford will discuss the Army Museum Enterprise, and she will be joined by a colleague from the National Museum of the United States Army to also provide an overview of that brand new facility. This presentation will underscore the importance of Army museums in tying us to our military and civilian communities, maintaining and showcasing Army customs and traditions through preservation, and informing and influencing military and civilian researchers and decision makers alike.

Our presenter, Tracy Bradford, has worked in the Army Museum Enterprise for more than a decade. She returned to lead the Army Women’s Museum after three years as a Museum Educator in the Programs and Education Department at the National Museum of the United States Army (NMUSA). At the National Museum, Ms. Bradford led a nationally recognized interdisciplinary team that recruited and trained more than 200 volunteers for the NMUSA Docent Corps. Tracy was the Director of Education at the United States Army Women’s Museum prior to moving to NMUSA. An educator for twenty-five years, Tracy has taught in secondary education, private industry, and the federal government. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from The College of William & Mary and a Master of Arts from The George Washington University.  Ms. Bradford served as the educational consultant for the PBS documentary Unsung Heroes: The Story of America's Female Patriots and presented at the Smithsonian Institution, the Virginia Association of Museums, the American Association of State and Local History, and The Society for Military History.
