Due to lingering health concerns, Missouri Humanities has decided that the safest choice is to cancel this year’s Awards Luncheon, scheduled for April 8th. This decision has not been made lightly, but we feel it is in the best interest of our staff, awardees, and statewide attendees – their health and safety are always a top priority for Missouri Humanities.
We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to our awardees for their understanding. We do not relish turning away from our awards ceremony, but with COVID vaccines becoming more available, we are hopeful to continue our Annual Gala this fall and the subsequent Awards Luncheon the following spring.
We will now shift gears and use this time to prepare a new process for distributing American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
If you have questions regarding the cancelation of this years luncheon, please email Executive Director Dr. Steve Belko, sbelko@mohumanities.org. |
