AUCD 2025

 

This image is a graphic design featuring a map of the United States in dark blue with interconnected nodes symbolizing a network. Overlaid on the map is a dark blue horizontal banner containing the text:


Nomination Deadline Extended: Monday, September 15

There is still time to submit and recognize the leadership and impact happening across our network. With ten award categories and a streamlined application process, this is a great opportunity to lift up the work of your colleagues and partners.


Awardees will be celebrated during a virtual ceremony later this fall. We encourage you to take part in these opportunities to connect, share your work, and celebrate excellence across AUCD.

This image shows a collection of awards displayed on a surface. The focus is mainly on a star-shaped trophy in the center, which appears to be made of a reflective material with a gold and silver finish. Surrounding the star-shaped trophy are several transparent glass or acrylic plaques, each bearing text and logos, although the text is not fully legible due to the lighting and focus. The lighting has a purple hue, creating a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere. The awards appear to be from an organization abbreviated as "AUCD."

Spark National Network Connections

This fall, AUCD is excited to bring our National Network together through two engaging virtual events: the Spark Network Connection Sessions 

  • Lightning Talks – UCEDDs, LENDs, and IDDRCs can submit one slide and a 2-minute presentation to spotlight work that sparks pride and energy. 

  • Bright Spark Chats – Following the Lightning Talks, small-group discussions will provide opportunities to build connections and exchange ideas across the network.
