ICOM-US International Service Citation

Through the ICOM-US International Service Citation, ICOM-US strives to honor those who have made a commitment to advance the cause of museum-based international relations.

As CEO and Founder of the The Fund for Arts and Culture, Jillian Poole has reconnected a generation of museum professionals in the former Soviet bloc and other countries with colleagues around the world, aided them in adapting their institutions to a radically changed economic landscape, and has contributed materially to building strong museums in communities around the world. Jillian was awarded the 2009 ICOM-US International Service Citation at the AAM Annual meeting in Philadelphia.

The nomination period is now closed for the 2010 award, which will be presented at the ICOM-US Annual Business Meeting and Luncheon at the AAM Annual Meeting in Los Angeles on Wednesday, May 26.

Nominations are being accepted for the 2011 award to be presented in Houston. View criteria and nomination form.
