The deadline to submit is Friday, February 13, 2026. As we gear up for our statewide conference in Naperville this March, we are accepting nominations for the 2026 IACEA Awards. This is our community’s chance to lift up the people who inspire us and give them the recognition they deserve on the big stage. Take a moment to look around your program. Who is going above and beyond? Taking the time to write a nomination is a powerful way to tell a colleague or a student, ‘I see your hard work, and it matters.’
