Alexander Gates, Director and Curator of the North Berrien Historical Museum received the Association of Midwest Museum’s Promising Leadership Award in Cleveland on October 7, 2010. The AMM Promising Leadership Award is given annually to individuals who have worked or volunteered for a museum or museum association for 10 years or less and provided exceptional service or shown outstanding commitment to the museum field.
Gates was given the award for his outstanding work at the North Berrien Historical Museum in Coloma, Michigan. Since he began in 2007 the organization has grown from a volunteer run organziation to a professional history museum with a staff of three. Gates has overseen new exhibits and programs as well as an active public relations and marketing campgain. Community support of the museum is most evident by the recent renewal of its operating millage in August 2010 despite the recent economic downturn.
