The NCBAA recognizes our role in acknowledging the stall worth efforts of community college leaders. Each year, during our annual awards breakfast at the AACC Convention, we honor the contributions and leadership provided by these individuals. We understand that these individuals certainly do not engage in the work for the accolades, however, we want them to know that we honor and acknowledge that our institutions, faculty/staff, and most importantly, students benefit from the time, talent, and treasure they contribute to our nation’s community colleges. Descriptions of the awards and previous recipients are noted below. We are currently soliciting nominations for the 2015 Leadership and Mentoring Awards. Nominations can be submitted using the forms below.
Mentoring Award
Mentoring of oncoming professionals and aspiring presidents and senior level administrators is one of the hallmarks of the NCBAA. We understand that, “Mentoring Quote”. Our professional development programs incorporate an ongoing mentoring element and members of our organization participate willingly in mentoring recognizing that none of us, “got here on our own.” The NCBAA Mentoring Award is given annually to an individual that exemplifies this spirit and has provided wise guidance and counsel to black faculty, staff, and administrators. This award is presented to the recipient, by the nominator, (the nominee and nominator must be attending the 2015 Convention) during our annual awards breakfast. If you would like to nominate an individual for the 2015 NCBAA Mentoring Award, please complete the form below. A panel will review nominees and notify the nominator and nominee by March 1, 2015.
