Awards Program

2011 OMA Awards Program

Museums large and small strive to engage their communities and meet their missions through programs, publications and exhibits.  The OMA Awards Program honors the excellence and quality of projects accomplished by institutional members. Also, the program recognizes individuals and groups whose contributions have impacted Oklahoma museums and the museum profession. OMA takes great pride in honoring the quality projects and dedicated individuals that make Oklahoma museums shine. 

The Awards Luncheon took place as part of the 2011 OMA Annual Fall Conference in Claremore. Award recipients were honored at a luncheon on September 30 at the Rogers State University Centennial Center in Claremore at noon. The luncheon is part of the Oklahoma Museums Association’s annual statewide conference.
