[SOA] Looking for candidates for MAC award

[George Bain]

Folks,
As the Ohio representative on the MAC Presidents' Award, I write to ask for 
ideas you may have for an archival supporter or advocate--individual or 
group--from Ohio deserving of recognition by MAC. Please read below the 
information on the award from the MAC web site. With the hope you have the 
name of a deserving nominee, please be in touch with the name of the 
candidate and some brief information on the candidate. Thanks.
George Bain

P.S. The MAC Presidents' Award went to an Ohioan, Ada Adams Woodson, in 
2007. Let's try for another recipient in 2009!

Nominations for the MAC Presidents' Award

The <http://www.midwestarchives.org/presidentsaward.asp>MAC Presidents' 
Award was established in 1986 as a way to recognize significant 
contributions to the archival profession by individuals, institutions, 
and/or organizations not directly involved in archival work, but who are 
knowledgeable about its purpose and intrinsic value. The success of 
archival work often depends on these supporters making outstanding 
contributions to the archival profession through such areas as legislation, 
publicity, advocacy, and/or long-term fiscal support.

If you are familiar with an individual, group or corporation who you feel 
is deserving of this award, please consider nominating them. The nomination 
form can be found in the upcoming MAC Newsletter or is available from your 
state's nomination committee chair. For more information, please contact 
the 
<http://www.midwestarchives.org/committee_chairs.asp#presidents>Presidents' 
Award Chair.

Nominations are due to the state chairs by January 15, 2009.
