CCA believes that the work of our chapters and members is essential to the success of our association. As part of that, we encourage chapters to nominate their outstanding chapter members for CCA Awards. These awards include the We Honor Our Own (W.H.O.) Awards, the State W.H.O Award, the CCA Advocacy Award, and the Faculty Equity and Diversity Awards.
Faculty Equity and Diversity Awards
CCA is proud to have initiated its Faculty Equity and Diversity Awards for outstanding service on behalf of community college faculty.
The LGBTQ+ Award, in honor of David Sanchez, CTA’s first openly gay president, recognizes faculty who have supported, promoted and educated our community college family regarding gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues.
The Ethnic Minority Award, in honor of Mary Ann Pacheco, a Hispanic professor at Rio Hondo College, is given to faculty who promote equal access and treatment for minorities on campus.
The Part-time Faculty Award in honor of David Milroy, another longtime faculty activist, is awarded to faculty who have worked to improve working conditions for part-time faculty.
Award winners are honored during CCA’s annual Spring Conference. Nominations may be by self-nomination, chapter nomination, or any member may nominate another member. The nominee must agree to be nominated. The nomination form is available HERE.
