Annually two awards are presented to members for their outstanding service to CAPACRAO and higher education at our meeting.  Nominations for these awards are requested prior to the June meeting and forwarded to the Award Committee for review and final selection.

Emerging Leader Award
The Award was created in 2015 to honor an emerging leader in their first eight years in Admissions, Records, or Enrollment Management who has made a significant contribution to CAPACRAO. The nominee should demonstrate commitment to the organization by regular conference attendance; program participation as presenter, recorder, or moderator; committee involvement; or other professional activities. The award may only be given to one person per year and is not necessarily awarded each year.
