    Individual Achievement Awards

    Each year, CASE District VII recognizes outstanding individual contributions to educational advancement through volunteer leadership and professional achievement.

    Nomination period: Sept. 29–Nov. 16, 2022.

    Chief Executive Officer Leadership Award

    The Chief Executive Officer Leadership Award was established by District VII in 1999 to honor institutional leaders for their outstanding contributions to their campus communities and for their support of advancement at their institutions. The award also recognizes a District VII member institution president, headmaster, chancellor, system head, or other institutional CEO for their outstanding efforts to promote a public understanding and support of education.

    Rising Star Award

    The Rising Star Award was established in 2004 and recognizes a person with seven (7) years or less of advancement experience whose early accomplishments distinguish them as possible future leaders in the profession. The candidates should be individuals whose performance demonstrates innovation, professionalism and leadership qualities.

      Tribute Award

      The Tribute Award was established by District VII in 1985 to recognize members who have maintained the highest standards of professionalism in their advancement careers and shared their expertise with members of the profession. In 2019, the award was renamed to honor our colleague Nancy Treser-Osgood who has been the consummate District VII volunteer for nearly 30 years.  Winners of this award will exemplify the values Nancy has promoted through her years of volunteer service.
