MMA members were invited to nominate colleagues they feel have done something particularly special this year for our Colleague Champion awards. Nominations this year were for a variety of reasons including exhibit design, advocacy work, fundraising efforts, community engagement, collaboration, making exhibits and institutions more accessible, and for being helpful colleagues, mentors, and leaders in the field. Join us as we celebrate this year's nominees! 

The Colleague Celebration will be held during the annual conference in Oakland County on October 21st, 2026. Award recipients and nominators do not need to be registered for the conference to attend the celebration. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to MMA Programs Coordinator, Natalie Pantelis, at programs@michiganmuseums.org.
