About ACCT

In recognition of the tremendous contribution made by trustees, chief executives, and faculty members to community colleges, the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) annually recognizes exemplary trustees, chief executives, faculty members, professional board staff members, and board/CEO teams who have improved equity at their respective institutions in each of ACCT's five regions.

Up to 25 ACCT Regional Awards are announced each year immediately prior to the Annual ACCT Leadership Congress.  Regional Awardees are presented with their awards during the ACCT Leadership Congress, and then one winner from each of the five categories is recognized with ACCT's Annual Association Awards during the Annual ACCT Awards Gala.  Click here for information on Association and Regional Awards.

Additionally, ACCT honors individuals who strive to promote community colleges in the public sector with a National Education Service Award and a Government Relations Award. These awards are given out during the Community College National Legislative Summit.
