Through its annual awards program, ACSA honors outstanding administrators and community organizations for their achievements and dedication to public education. If you plan to nominate a colleague this year, you can start working on it now and give yourself plenty of time to complete the submission before the January deadline.

Administrator nominations are sought for the following awards:

Visit www.acsa.org/awards to use the online portal to submit a nomination. The deadline for submitting nominations for the above-listed awards, in all regions, is Jan. 18, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Regions will then select their region winners and state finalists, which are forwarded to the statewide Awards Committee.

Online support includes a video tutorial of the platform, helpful dos and don’ts, frequently asked questions, a program timeline, sample nominations and checklists, and criteria for each award category.

New this year, the Awards Committee and Board of Directors worked to update the Administrator of the Year award criteria, ensuring that the criteria required for the award better aligns with ACSA’s current mission and vision.
