William Underwood Eiland, director of the Georgia Museum of Art, received the American Alliance of Museums’ Award for Distinguished Service to Museums at AAM’s annual conference in May. Instituted in 1981, the award recognizes excellence and contributions to the museum profession for at least 20 years. It is only given in years when there is a worthy nominee.
Evaluations are based on individual contributions to institutions, the museum profession and the local, state, national or international museum community.
