Introduced in 2020, the Eminent Pastelist designation, MPAC-EP, recognizes members who have consistently supported PAC through entering their exhibitions with a high standard of work.  This high standard is reflected in their ability to gain acceptance into 15 juried PAC exhibitions as well as earn 3 or more awards.

Margaret Ferraro, Kathy Hildebrandt, Karin Richter and Ann Kelly Walsh were the first four recipients of this designation. Roberta Combs and Fred Fielding also joined the ranks in June 2020.
