ACFO-ACAF is excited to announce that applications are now open for the fourth annual ACFO-ACAF Community Awards! Each year, one award in each of three categories is presented to members of the ACFO-ACAF Community who have made outstanding contributions to the profession and to the community at large.
These awards recognize the dedication, leadership, and innovation demonstrated by members across the CT Community. The awards include:
- The ACFO-ACAF Innovation Award, for a member or team of members at the forefront of innovation in finance or audit;
- The Tessie Genise Volunteer Award, for a member who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to volunteerism within the community; and
- The ACFO-ACAF Lifetime Achievement Award, in recognition of a member’s career of dedication to the ACFO-ACAF Community.
Each award winner will be celebrated at one of our main events and provided with opportunities to share their achievements with the wider ACFO-ACAF Community. To ensure that distance does not hinder participation, travel expenses will be covered for regional winners to collect their prize; in the case of larger winning teams, support will be extended to a few representatives to ensure fair and manageable travel arrangements.
