Mari Sabusawa Michener Society

About the Society

It is thanks to the oft-lauded generosity of James Michener that the Museum exists today, but sometimes lost in the story of our founding are the contributions of his wife, Mari Sabusawa Michener. Thanks to Mari’s thoughtful planning, the Michener was able to undergo its first major expansion and reinforce its very foundations with a significantly expanded endowment. In appreciation of her legacy, the Mari Society was established to recognize those individuals who have chosen to include the Museum in their plans for the future. The Museum is honored to recognize the members of the Mari Society for their steadfast commitment and generosity.
