- I'm proud to be able
to represent museums
and science centers,
to advocate on behalf of the critical role
and quite frankly the
necessary role that they play
in providing our
communities with the tools
and the resources, whether
it be science, technology,
engineering, arts, or mathematics.
Those are the industry
and those are the career
fields of the future
and museums play a unique role
in delivering those
opportunities to our communities.
And that's one of the
reasons why we're here today
is to reach out to our
congressional leaders
collectively, with one
voice, to advocate for
the fact that science centers and museums
play a critical role in
shaping our communities.
This visit is really critical.
You not only have the opportunity to
engage with your colleagues
from across the country,
but also those colleagues
that are in your own state.
So that way we're not focused
simply as one institution,
but we're all working
together toward a common goal.
It's all about engaging, inspiring,
and transforming those lives.
That's where the passion comes from.
