ACCT is a sponsor of the 20th Anniversary Bellwether Legacy Award, a special award created to commemorate the Community College Futures Assembly’s 20th Anniversary.

“The Bellwether Award is among the most prestigious recognition given to those within the community college sector,” Brown said. “ACCT is proud and honored to be able to support the first-ever Legacy Award, and I am excited to be personally involved in the announcement of the awards.”
