2026 Vanguard Award Submission
Vanguard Award
Before You Begin
Your nomination should tell us three things:
- The Move: What did you do differently? Describe the challenge or opportunity and the bold action your organization took.
- The Impact: What changed? Share the results, outcomes, or meaningful progress. Numbers are helpful, but impact isn't always measured in dollars.
- The Takeaway: Why is this worth sharing? What makes your approach forward-thinking? What could other associations learn from your experience?
A Few Things to Know
- Keep it concise. Aim for 100–150 words per response.
- Keep it real. Polished writing isn't the point. We're interested in the work and its impact.
- Recent work matters. Focus on initiatives from the past 24 months.
- Be ready to celebrate. Finalists must have a representative register for and attend FutureFest on November 19.
- Share the story. Selected organizations agree to have their work featured through Associations North communications.
Ready? Tell us about the work that's moving your organization forward.
