On Thursday, we kicked off the 2008-2009 MCN Membership campaign. In the past, we’re reported some basic statistics during the Business Meeeting at the conference, but I’ve always been curious about what lurked behind the tables and figures reported there. In the next few posts I’ll try visualizing some interesting features of MCN membership.
For the 2007-2008 year we had:
- 386 Individuals (including Non-profit and corporate representatives)
- 45 Non-profit Members
- 14 Corporate Members
These individual members were located around the world – although most of us are in the United States and Canada.
Zooming in a little closer to the United States, we find out that MCN members are concentrated in New York and California. Not too surprising, especially considering that many of our members work for arts related organizations (more on that in part II). Even so, that doesn’t necessarily explain why we don’t have any members in a big swath of the Plains and Mountain West. Any readers who are in those states care to comment? (according to the Musematic logs, you are out there!)
Next up, we’ll take a look at what kinds of positions we hold and what kinds of institutions we represent.
Oh, and if you want to fill the holes in the map….Join MCN today!
