The Distinguished Service Award, NEA’s most prestigious honor, was presented to Megan Sniffin-Marinoff of Charlestown, MA, in recognition of her lifetime achievements. Ms. Sniffin-Marinoff joined NEA in 1982, and has served as the organization’s president and an active member of many committees. She has demonstrated leadership in the profession as an educator, advocate and scholar. Prior to becoming the University Archivist at Harvard University in 2004, she has held leadership positions at the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science where she was on the faculty for fifteen years. Ms. Sniffin-Marinoff received her bachelor’s degree in Journalism at Boston University where she later enrolled in the doctoral program for American History. She earned her master’s degree in American History from New York University. In nominating her, Brenda Lawson, associate librarian and curator of manuscripts at the Massachusetts Historical Society wrote "If one were to ask a room full of members of New England Archivists who they considered to be their mentor, I would venture to guess that at least half would answer Megan." The Distinguished Service Award may be granted to individuals or institutions who "are dedicated to the promotion of NEA objectives and who make significant contributions to the profession, their institution, NEA and/or the archival community in New England."
