Danielle Linzer never intended to work in museums. And that’s a good thing, as it was her boots-on-the-ground experience in social services and community organizing that led her to become an agent of change in the slow-to-change field. Now the director of learning and public engagement at The Andy Warhol Museum is also one of 10 senior fellows for diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion chosen by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) in an unprecedented effort to diversify museum boards and leadership.
