The Innovation Awards
General Information
The Innovation Awards are the Association’s way of recognizing and
rewarding creativity and innovation in course programming, management
practice, communication, marketing, or customer service in Continuing
Education programs. The Committee Chair solicits the entries in the
summer, and the awards are given during the Fall Conference each year.
The following information is subject to
change by the current Innovation Awards Chair and Committee but may be
used as general guidelines and information.
Judging Criteria
1.
Innovation: How unique or original is the program or idea?
2.
Need: What was the identified need, and who were the targeted
participants or beneficiaries?
3.
Impact: How many people have been impacted by the program or idea?
4.
Permanence: Does the program or idea have long-term staying power
and implications?
5.
Replication: Can the program or idea be replicated at other
community colleges?
Entry Eligibility
Entrants must be employees of North
Carolina community colleges, and Continuing Education must be a major part
of their work responsibilities.
The Awards
The overall winner will receive a $100
check for his/her college’s Foundation earmarked for his/her program, a
$50 personal check, a certificate, and a commemorative plaque. The two
