PORTLAND — Two educators from the Portland Museum of Art have won national awards.

Dana Baldwin, the museum’s director of education, has been named the National Museum Educator of the Year by the National Art Education Association. Stacy Rodenberger, school programs coordinator for the museum, was named Eastern Division Outstanding Museum Educator of the Year by the same group.

Baldwin and Rodenberger will receive their awards at the National Art Education Association’s annual conference in March in Seattle, Wash. Baldwin will deliver a speech at the conference.

Previous honorees for Baldwin’s award include the directors of education at the Guggenheim Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums, and the J. Paul Getty Museum.

The museum announced the news this morning.

Rodenberger will receive her award alongside three other regional winners from the Georgia Museum of Art, the Amon Carter Museum and the Orange County Museum of Art. The association’s eastern region includes museums from Washington, D.C., to Maine.
