Dear Member,

I hope this finds you and your family safe, supported, and healthy. 

Though you’re used to hearing from me through my letters in your Smithsonian Associates program guide, I’m reaching out in a different way to let you know that a June issue won’t be appearing in your mailboxes.

We’ve spent the recent months reimagining our in-person programming and reinventing it as Smithsonian Associates Streaming. Your response to the offerings that launched a few weeks ago has been incredibly gratifying and encouraging, and I’m pleased to let you know that more new programs will soon be added for June.

You can also look forward to a July program guide with expanded editorial content and online programs representing the full range of topics and the quality of presenters that you’ve come to value from us.

We’re energized and hopeful about this newest and boldest direction in Smithsonian Associates’ 55-year history—because we’re making this journey with you. Your ongoing support and your commitment to learning are propelling us into an exciting shared future.

Right now, the world is quickly learning to connect in very different ways. One thing hasn’t changed: We’re honored to work together with you as we shape new learning experiences and continue to be a part of each other’s lives.

Sincerely,

Frederica R. Adelman, Director
