District of Columbia ACTE Excellence Awards
Great organizations recognize the significance of honoring and acknowledging their members' contributions. We encourage you to nominate yourself or a great colleague for a DC ACTE Excellence Award. Through this awards program, our aims are threefold:
- Recognize, highlight, and celebrate outstanding achievements within the District.
- Establish benchmarks for excellence in CTE throughout the District.
- Enhance member involvement and retention.
The District of Columbia Awards program aims to advance career and technical education (CTE) excellence by honoring members who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and impact in the field. This recognition is extended to individuals who have shown exemplary leadership, provided valuable service, implemented programs that uphold rigorous standards, and undertaken initiatives to advance and broaden CTE in the District. We eagerly await your award submissions!
Awards Process

If you have questions about the District of Columbia ACTE Excellence Awards program, please contact the DC ACTE President or DC ACTE Awards Chair for additional information.
