Hello all,

It is important to strive for and celebrate excellence within the museum
field. It is how we, as museum professionals, improve our work and
ultimately create more profound connections with our communities.

The Western Museums Association (WMA) supports furthering the museum
profession through the Charles Redd Award for Exhibition Excellence and the
Director’s Chair Award.

The July 15, 2015 deadline for nominations for both Awards is rapidly
approaching!

2015 Charles Redd Award
Did you or a colleague create an innovative exhibit about the American West
in 2014 or 2015?

The WMA is pleased to consider applications for the 2015 Charles Redd Award
honoring excellence for an exhibition that furthers the study and
understanding of the American West. The award is funded by the Charles Redd
Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University, and will be
presented to the recipient during the 2015 Annual Meeting.

Deadline: July 15, 2015


2015 Director’s Chair Award
A chance to recognize unsung heroes of our profession…not necessarily just
for directors

Countless museum professionals make invaluable contributions to the field.
They accomplish personal and institutional goals, mentor their colleagues,
and safeguard the future of museums. However, they can go unrecognized for
this important work. The WMA is accepting nominations for the 2015
Director’s Chair Award in recognition of these unsung heroes. The
Director’s Chair Award is designed to showcase and acknowledge outstanding
achievements in the museum profession. Please note that nominees can be
working in any discipline.
