<span style="color:black">The MAC Presidents’ Award was established in 1986 as a means for MAC to recognize significant contributions to the archival profession by individuals, institutions, and organizations not directly involved in archival work, but knowledgeable
about its purpose and value. A committee comprising the three most recent past presidents of MAC chooses the recipients, based on nominations submitted by committees in each of the 13 states in the MAC region. Each state committee may put forward only one
nomination per year. As many as three awards may be presented each year. Recipients are invited to attend the Members’ Meeting held at MAC’s Annual Meeting to receive their awards. In 2022, MAC is scheduled to be in Madison, Wisconsin. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:black">MAC’s Distinguished Service Award recognizes the otherwise unsung contributions of our MAC friends and colleagues. Please take a moment to think of those you know who have been quietly contributing their time and talents to MAC:
the people who step up to serve on committees, who are ready to fill in as workshop leaders for participants who must withdraw at the last minute, or those who will gladly work the registration table when they learn someone has just canceled. Who among us
can whip up a quick article for the newsletter when you need to fill that last quarter-page, or will help organize our annual meetings? Now take a few minutes to put into words why MAC should recognize at least one of these people, and submit your nomination
on the MAC Distinguished Service Award nomination form, posted on the MAC Website:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://hes32-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2furldefense.proofpoint.com%2fv2%2furl%3fu%3dhttps%2d3A%5f%5fwww.midwestarchives.org%5findex.php%2d3Foption%2d3Dcom%2d5Fcontent%2d26view%2d3Darticle%2d26id%2d3D59%26d%3dDwMFAg%26c%3dS1d2Gs1Y1NQV8Lx35%5fQi5FnTH2uYWyh%5fOhOS94IqYCo%26r%3d%5f51VB0uwqSQQnFvneeOgi9K9%5f9WQhX0XIEPYVYXj1D0%26m%3d8pN90sqsOWOIwMsRemFt89q2SNbgIGHCCes7ByCFJvg%26s%3d8Nm7%2dWduefrWmt53HJCjh0bbciZhUH4wWIzPZfmRdfo%26e%3d&umid=8b9834ab-09e5-4764-a749-33b4d23999c3&auth=49f7661a6a6e9dbdd67b6d82c24ae3f6a51424d3-ac237f6cbf043885bab92b45536939fcb631e751" title="https://hes32-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2furldefense.proofpoint.com%2fv2%2furl%3fu%3dhttps%2d3A%5f%5fwww.midwestarchives.org%5findex.php%2d3Foption%2d3Dcom%2d5Fcontent%2d26view%2d3Darticle%2d26id%2d3D59%26d%3dDwMFAg%26c"><span style="color:#0563C1">https://www.midwestarchives.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
