Purpose

The President's Award committee is also responsible for collecting nominations and passing recommendations to Council for the MAC Distinguished Service Award, which is presented at the Awards Luncheon at the spring meeting.

Candidates for the Distinguished Service Award must have made remarkable contributions to MAC or to the archival profession during their archival career. Significant contributions may include, but are not limited to, extensive or superior volunteer work in an elected or appointed role within MAC; unusually important innovation, leadership, or crisis management; and notable success in expanding the visibility and/or support of MAC. Outstanding contributions to the archival community may include striking work or activities that have dramatically improved the preservation of or accessibility to historically valuable documents or records, or that have resulted in a significantly better public appreciation of archival work and activities.
