The Local Historian Vol 36-Issue 6-November December 2020 Volume 36 Issue 6 November/December 2020 Congratulations 2020 Award Winners! ince 1960, the Ohio Local His- tory Alliance, in partnership with the Ohio History Connec- tion, has led the state in recog- Snizing excellent projects, programs, and publications produced by Ohio historical societies, museums, libraries, and related organizations. In addition, the Alliance is proud to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions in preserving local history and heritage. This year the Alliance board presented ten Outstanding Achievement Awards at the Annual Meeting. These awards recog- nize exceptional projects and people that have made an impact inspiring, connect- ing, and educating audiences throughout Ohio.

Never did I imagine that my final year would fall within a national pandemic, and how much Text box starts here under title block that would change how we have operated. Despite COVID, it has been a great year for the Alliance and I have immensely enjoyed working with the exceptional group of folks that make up the Alliance Board. Our accomplishments this year include the comple- tion of our new 5 Year Strategic Plan, the reinvention of our Annual Meeting into a virtual format, valuable workshops. helpful email blasts and webinars providing a wide array of resources to weather the pandemic. One of the clear lessons the pandemic has taught us is the continued relevance and need to participate in a collaborative organi- zation such as OLHA. Our success is due greatly to our nimble and hardworking board and team. I’m happy to share that I leave the group in the capable hands of our new president, Christy Davis, who is the Curator of Exhibitions at the Canton Museum of Art. What does the future hold? Hopefully the end of the pandemic. But with an abundance of caution, the Alliance has decided to be proactive and plan for virtual Spring Region- al Meetings. The decision was not made lightly. After much thought and discussion, the Governance and Education Committees recommended that the 2021 Regional Meet- ings be held online, rather than in person. Please see the article in this newsletter that explains the Regional Meeting plan and new format. I extend best wishes to all as you head into the Holiday Season at your historical societ- ies and museums. May your Holiday events be successful. I also send prayers that this pandemic will soon end, and for the continued safety of all our friends in the museum field and their families. Stay safe.
