    Honors & Awards

     

    AAACE confers several categories of awards to recognize and honor exemplary contributions to adult continuing education. The awards are a highly visible component of the association's statement about standards of excellence in the field. The AAACE awards process is under the leadership of the National Awards Committee.


    Guiding Principles:
    The AAACE awards process is based on:

    • Having a limited, select number of association-wide awards to truly honor and recognize outstanding contributions to the field.
    • Honoring leadership, service, knowledge, learners and practice in the field.
    • Recognizing both individual and team or collective efforts.
    • Open communication about the awards, the selection criteria, and process for each award.

    Awards Ceremony

    The AAACE National Awards Program is held annually during the AAACE conference. Winners will be notified by letter in September after the awardees have been selected. Each AAACE national award is an annual award. However if a worthy recipient is not identified for any particular award, the award is not given that year.
