Registration payment, refund, and cancellation policies apply.

League Awards Reception

At this exclusive event on Monday evening, Excellence Award and Innovation of the Year Award recipients will be congratulated and celebrated for their exemplary work. (Due to space limitations, this event is for 2019 award recipients only.)

Excellence Award Recipient Highlights

Recipients will be featured in the following ways while on site:

• Photos will be taken of recipients in the League booth during the Sunday evening reception. Wear your medallions and bring your colleagues with you for a commemorative photo. A digital photo album will be created on Pinterest for sharing.
• Recipient photos will be featured in a slideshow at the Excellence Awards Celebration and Closing General Session. (See FAQ page for recipient instructions.)

The closing session on Wednesday pays special tribute to Excellence Award recipients. Awards Programs will be distributed to recipients as they enter the ballroom. As the session comes to a close, recipients will participate in a ceremonial donning of Excellence Award medallions.
