Honor a Mentor

The ACCI Honor a Mentor Program is an opportunity that not only gives ACCI members and colleagues a way to recognize someone who has impacted their professional lives, but the program also provides funds to assist young professionals in their career development. Funds raised through Honor a Mentor support the Students and Young Professionals Annual Conference Scholarship. Applications will be made available in the fall of each year. Click here for the application form.

You may choose to honor a Mentor (living or deceased) who made a positive influence on your professional development, or who facilitated the achievement of your career or educational goals. You may personally nominate someone or solicit contributions from others, as a group, to recognize the Mentor. This award could also coincide with retirement or a significant achievement in the life or career of the Mentor. At least one donor or the honoree must be a current or former member of ACCI. If someone has previously recognized as a Mentor, for instance, additional funds can be raised to again honor that person as a Master Mentor. Nomination forms should be submitted by mid-October and donations will be accepted through February 1st of the next year. Mentors will be presented an award at the Annual Conference.

Levels of Recognition:

  • Mentor $500
  • Master Mentor $2,500
  • Maestro Mentor $5,000

All mentor levels will be recognized with an engraved award.
