Award Opportunities
Applications are open NOW, and are due July 8, 2022
You are invited to nominate a colleague, a student, a community partner agency, or yourself for one of Community-Engaged Alliance’s state-wide community engagement awards and/or recognition opportunities.
Starting in 2022, we honor and recognize individuals at our Annual Fall Retreat in September. This new awards cycle allows us to intentionally engage awardees throughout the year. Also in 2022, we have added a recognition category for staff and re-designed our applications and nomination forms to make applying and nominating easier than ever.
Don’t be shy, nominate yourself! To view applications, navigate to a specific award page below. Finally, sign up for our monthly newsletter to stay up to date.
