Awards & Recognitions

As an organization, we recognize the value of strong work ethics and dedicated service. It’s essential to properly honor our employees and colleagues for their contributions. We also understand that many of our institutions face challenges with limited funding and flexibility when it comes to supporting and recognizing the outstanding efforts of their staff throughout the year. NCAPPA is here to help.
All award winners will be celebrated at our annual conference. Recipients will be formally recognized in front of their peers and presented with a special gift from NCAPPA during our Thursday night banquet. Please take a moment to review the categories below and nominate a deserving team member.
