This award recognizes an individual, other than someone working directly with museum education programs, for efforts on behalf of public education and community service.

Eligible Nominees include: museum directors, curators, researchers, exhibit designers, school administrators, government officials, those in foundations, corporations and training programs.

Only practicing museum educators are ineligible since this award is designed to recognize those outside the field of museum education who exhibit outstanding leadership and promote the educational responsibility and capacity of museums.

The John Cotton Dana Award recognizes exemplary leadership. It is therefore awarded on an occasional basis (not annually) as extraordinary leadership is brought to the attention of the nominating committee through the nomination process.

Established in 1991, by EdCom, in tribute to John Cotton Dana, founder and director of the Newark Museum. During his life, he worked incessantly to make the museum a center of community service whose chief function was to be educational and interpretive.
