2026 AUCD Awards Ceremony: Seeking Members for this year's Awards Committee

AUCD is seeking two (2) members from the Network to serve on this year's Awards Committee. The committee will meet virtually for one 90-minute session in August or September to review and rate submitted award nominations, with some application review prior to the meeting if needed. The committee's goal is to identify award recipients for AUCD's Annual Conference. Individuals may nominate themselves or another person by emailing Catherine DiGiammarino at cdigiammarino@aucd.org with the nominee's name, title and organization, email address, whether the nomination is self-submitted or submitted by another individual, and a brief 2–4 sentence statement explaining why the nominee would be a good member of the Awards Nominating Committee. Committee nominations must be submitted by the close of business (ET) on Friday, August 14, 2026.
