2026 Member Recognition Awards

The purpose of the member recognition program is to honor music therapists and advocates for their long-term efforts towards the development and growth of the profession of music therapy. The awards acknowledge individuals who have made significant contributions to the American Music Therapy Association, Inc. (as well as the former AAMT and NAMT associations) through education, service, clinical practice, and/or research.

Do you know someone whose work has strengthened music therapy? Nominate them for one of the member recognition awards. Nominations are due September 15, 2026. View the Nomination Guidelines, then submit your nomination.
