Do you have an award-worthy initiative?
This November, TAC member organizations can submit 750-word abstracts for review by volunteers from TAC councils and committees. For each award, TAC will invite up to four finalists to submit a ten-page application in January. Those detailed applications will be evaluated using three criteria (outcomes, innovation and transferability) with nine award winners to be approved by TAC councils next spring.
Award winners will receive an engraved plaque, and will be highlighted in TAC’s awards booklet and video (see our 2021 winners). All finalists will be invited to showcase their initiatives in a series of free webinars next summer.
Interested in applying?
Submit an abstract from November 1-30. In the meantime, visit the TAC website for information on the application process, eligibility and conditions. If you have any questions, contact us.
