The jury awards an Advocacy Citation of Merit to the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance (MPA), a non-profit organization devoted to promoting stewardship and awareness of the historic, cultural, and economic value of Milwaukee’s built heritage. This Award recognizes MPA staff, board members, volunteers, and partners for their efforts to celebrate and preserve Milwaukee’s modern sites and to educate their audience along the way. MPA has led several high-profile campaigns include Save Our Domes for the Mitchell Park Domes, the Marcus Center Campaign to preserve its Dan Kiley landscape, and the Forest Home Library Campaign. MPA regularly incorporates modern sites into its communications and outreach efforts, placing mid-twentieth century resources on equal footing with older resources.
