In 2023, the Awards process is changing. Some awards will be given to recipients during our annual summer conference and others will be given during our brand-new Community Colleges for Iowa Convention, happening for the first time this Fall. Secondly, CCforIowa will no longer be sending completed award nominations to ACCT for national awards consideration. It will be at the discretion of each College to do so to allow more Iowan nominations to be considered for the national awards.
