AWARD PRESENTED BY AAWCC, THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES
The American Association for Women in Community Colleges is guided in all of its endeavors by a firm commitment to equity and excellence in education and employment for women in community, junior and technical colleges. That commitment is translated into action at the national, regional, state and local level through programs, activities and services. The Model Programs Award is a national award program designed to highlight the accomplishments of colleges, AAWCC members and chapters, individuals, and community partners that support women in professional development, leadership training, career advancement, service activities, mentoring and networking.
The Model Programs Award initiative intends to:
- increase AAWCC membership and enhance participation in AAWCC activities in community colleges
- encourage the development of mentoring experiences for women, and
- promote the sharing of information about programs and activities that support women in community colleges.
