ACE Director Receives National Faculty Award from the Association of Community College Trustees
October 9, 2009
WASHINGTON—The Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) is pleased to announce the recipients of its annual Association Awards for community college trustees, equity programs, chief executive officers, faculty members and professional board staff members.
ACCT's Association Awards recognize the tremendous contributions made by trustees, chief executive officers, faculty members, professional board staff, and equity programs. Those recognized at the national level received regional-level recognition in their respective categories earlier in the year. Each regional-level awardee was a contender for a national-level ACCT Association Award. The ACCT Association Awards were announced during the ACCT Awards Gala on Friday, October 9 at the Hilton San Francisco in San Francisco, California.
“The ACCT Association Awards are among the most prestigious awards any community college, its trustees, presidents, faculty or staff member can receive,” said ACCT Chair and Orange County Community College (New York) Trustee Arthur C. Anthonisen. “It is ACCT’s privilege to shine the spotlight on these outstanding leaders.”
“2009 has been a trying year for all Americans, but the demand on community colleges has been greater than ever,” said ACCT President and CEO J. Noah Brown. “With higher-than-ever enrollments and severe budget cuts in many states, community college leaders have had to work exceptionally hard. ACCT is proud to be able to recognize the best of the best with our annual awards program.”
