Larry Snyder will receive The Sali Lieberman Award for his impact on four Bay Area arts institutions — the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the College of Marin music department, Sonoma State University, and the Mill Valley Chamber Music Society. The Sali Lieberman Award, a special non-annual award from the Milleys Board of Directors, recognizes an individual's lasting contributions to local arts organizations and their lifetime achievement in the arts.

The Judges for 2011 were Bread & Roses Executive Director Cassandra Flipper; former Tamalpais High music educator Bob Greenwood; Susan Landor Keegin, graphic designer and painter; retired Pacific Sun publisher and editor Steve McNamara; and architect and former Mill Valley Mayor Chris Raker.

Produced by a volunteer board of directors, under the auspices of the Mill Valley Art Commission, the annual Milley Awards is a star-studded event that usually sells out. The Milley is a bronze statue sculpted by John Libberton of Sausalito.
