The ACCED-I Awards & Recognition program celebrates individuals and institutions that set the standard of excellence each year. Receiving an ACCED-I Award not only brings recognition within the collegiate conference and event industry but also at your institution. By honoring outstanding service, we elevate our profession and institutional roles.

Eligibility:

• Any ACCED-I member in good standing can be nominated.
• Members of the Recognition Action Team cannot make nominations.
• Current Board members are ineligible for nominations during their term, with noted exceptions.

Nomination Review: 
The Recognition Action Team reviews all nominations and selects the award recipients. The committee reserves the right not to present an award if the nominations do not meet the established criteria or qualifications.

Recognition: 
Awards are presented during the ACCED-I Annual Conference. Nominees are notified in advance and do not need to be present to receive the award. Recipients receive a commemorative keepsake along with a press release recognizing their achievement, which is also shared with their supervisor.
